* By attending this evening, you join a community of patrons committed to sustaining and elevating BISO’s mission — enabling the orchestra to grow, innovate, and reach further.

What awaits you:
* A sumptuous concert of Johann Strauss’s most radiant music, headlined by selections from Die Fledermaus, whose melodies sparkle like champagne bubbles.
* Stellar guest soloists and instrumentalists from the Boston International Symphony Orchestra, performing in the refined and intimate ambiance of the Museum of Modern Renaissance.
* A special pre-concert welcome and post-concert reception, where you will mingle with artists, music lovers, and key supporters. Enjoy champagne, light reception, and a chance to meet the performers and learn about the orchestra’s plans.
* A curated silent-auction offering exclusive items, behind-the-scenes orchestra access, and named opportunities to engage further with BISO.
* Recognition of donor supporters (with permission) in the event program and on BISO’s website, honoring your commitment to the arts.
