The Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms Society is an American orchestra based in Boston, Massachusetts. Known colloquially as 'BB&B'.
History
[edit]The Bach, Beethoven, & Brahms Society was formed in the spring of 2016 by Steven Lipsitt and the musicians of the former Boston Classical Orchestra (BCO).[1] Following debut concerts in March and April of 2016, BB&B presented a full 2016 – 2017 season of subscription concerts. Relying on the professional musicians of the former BCO, and guest soloists, BB&B continued the concerts in Faneuil Hall, home to the BCO for many years.[citation needed]
Artistic leadership
[edit]Steven Lipsitt has been the musical director of the BB&B since its founding. Prior to that he had been the conductor of the BCO. The BCO was founded in 1980 by Robert Brink; Harry Ellis Dickson was the conductor of the BCO from 1983 to 1999.[1]
