BMOP's strongest attribute is the artistic distinction of the orchestra. BMOP's players, the overwhelming majority of whom reside in the greater Boston area, are considered to be at the top of their field. Many of them specialize in the performance of new music, and all are dedicated to realizing BMOP's mission. The Boston Globe says that BMOP demonstrates "how classy our community of freelance players is," and The New York Times claims, "Mr. Rose and his team filled the music with rich, decisive ensemble colors and magnificent solos. These musicians were rapturous - superb instrumentalists at work and play."
