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 “musical machinery” with fascinating stories and insights into the music. This is not your typical concert—it’s intimate, informal, and interactive. You’ll sit among the musicians and see the artistry up close.
