Our 17th season of Distinguished Lecture Series will conclude on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. when Mark Volpe, former President and Chief Operating Officer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, discusses “My 23 Years at the Boston Symphony Orchestra.”
During his near-quarter-century with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mark Volpe distinguished himself among orchestral administrators the world over. He was responsible for all the activities of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops Orchestra, and Tanglewood, a scope of activities unmatched by any other orchestra in the world. He drove the BSO’s artistic mission of musical excellence by bringing the BSO to the widest possible audience through live performances, traditional and new media, and a variety of social media platforms. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mark worked tirelessly to lead the BSO through the most challenging period in its history.
Now in its 17th season, the Distinguished Lecture Series is organized and hosted by Dr. Jeremy Yudkin. Dr. Yudkin is a resident of the Berkshires and Professor of Music and Co-Director of the Center for Beethoven Research at Boston University. Every summer at the Lenox Library he presents the pre-concert lectures for the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood season.
All programs in the Distinguished Lecture Series are free and open to the public.
