We’ve assembled the best in the world—all to delight you! BEMF’s 2022–2023 Season features beloved ensembles, exciting emerging artists, and an all-new production from our GRAMMY-winning Chamber Opera Series. Our 33rd Season continues BEMF’s tradition of bringing the most captivating performers to live audiences in Greater Boston—and thanks to virtual viewing options, to fans around the world. We look forward to seeing you!
Returing to in-person concerts over the last year has been both an honor and responsibility. As the global pandemic evolves, our response will continue to adapt. The health and safety of our audience, employees, and artists remains our highest priority. Out of concern for those in our community who are still vulnerable, some COVID-19 protocols will stay in place for the coming season. You can always visit BEMF.org/safety to review our current safety policies.
