MIT Summer Philharmonic Orchestra (MITSPO)

Experience an unforgettable evening of music and celebration with the MIT Summer Philharmonic Orchestra, returning to the stage for its 27th season on Friday, July 24.

Under the direction of acclaimed Music Director and Conductor George Ogata, accomplished musicians from MIT and the Greater Boston area will perform two beloved masterpieces: Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, "From the New World." These powerful works evoke themes of hope and optimism in an ever-changing world—and serve as a reminder of the creativity and shared humanity that connect us all.
