BSO Fusion: Brahms v. Radiohead Tickets

BSO Fusion presents Brahms v. Radiohead, a dynamic collaboration led by conductor/composer Steve Hackman and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. This program fuses Brahms Symphony No. 1 with Radiohead's OK Computer, performed with three pop vocalists in Hackman’s signature SYMPHONYFUSE style. The project sits within Hackman’s broader fusion repertoire, including Resurrection Mixtape and Beethoven X Beyoncé, and showcases his knack for crossing genres while remaining rooted in orchestral rigor.

As a driving force behind contemporary orchestral storytelling, Hackman has contributed to high-profile projects beyond the concert hall — including work on the 2024 Academy Awards writing team and teaching fusion/recomposition at Juilliard in 2023. The Radio Nouveau material from Hackman’s studio work is released through SMH Productions, with a distinct branding under SYMPHONYFUSE/BSO Fusion.

Join us for this bold, accessible experience in two distinct U.S. venues: The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD, and the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore, MD. Secure your seats for these immersive performances that celebrate innovative programming and live orchestral energy.
