PERFORMANCE HISTORY SEARCH

What is "HENRY"?
"HENRY" is the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Performance History Search module, which contains all-documented concerts of the orchestra beginning with October 21, 1881 through the current season. It is named after the BSO's founder, Henry Lee Higginson. The search function provides access to the performance history of every work, and of all artists -- conductors, ensembles, and soloists -- who have performed with the orchestra.
