Get closer than ever to the music at BPO UpClose—an immersive, in-the-round concert experience that places you at the heart of orchestral sound in Kleinhans Music Hall’s Mary Seaton Room. Led by concertmaster Nikki Chooi and double-bassist Jonathan Borden, this program explores how composers have reimagined harmony and expression from the Renaissance era through the 21st century. The BPO performs shorter works while sharing engaging insights and context throughout the evening, followed by a reception with complimentary beer and wine. This is not your typical concert—it’s intimate, informal, and interactive. You’ll sit among the musicians and see the artistry up close. Photos and videos are encouraged, so bring your camera and capture this one-of-a-kind experience!
