The Boston Repertory Orchestra

 William Shoucair, Music Director

Comments from our players:

"I have rarely enjoyed a reading repertory orchestra so much.  Bill is a wonderful conductor, sensitive to the music and welcoming to anyone seriously interested in playing.  The choice of music is brilliant, lovely symphonic pieces that everyone loves.  The tempi and extent of practice are perfect to be satisfying musically. His warmth infuses the spirit of the group which is friendly and democratic." Sonia Guterman, Wellesley Symphony

"The BRO is a unique opportunity to play major orchestral works in a relaxed yet serious atmosphere. The website is kept up to date with past and current pieces, so you can see what is coming up and get an idea of just how many pieces we play. Bill is fantastic – he has a huge repertoire of music, is flexible (allows you to play different parts), has a great sense of humor and knows his stuff.  There is great camaraderie among the group and I look forward to it every week!"  NK (violin), Newton Symphony Orchestra  

"I love playing with the BRO whenever I can.  What could be better than playing great music in a congenial and casual environment? " G.S.

"By playing new and exciting pieces selected from both standard and occasionally not-so-standard orchestral repertoire every week, no performing group has served to improve my ensemble playing as much as the BRO has."    Jason Huffman composer, principal trumpet in various groups including the Charles River and Metropolitan Wind Ensembles and the Mercury Orchestra
