PAST EDITIONS
BOS 2026
The 2026 edition of the Brasília Orchestral Summit was an extraordinary celebration of orchestral and piano music, featuring Grammy Award–winning pianist Isabel Dobarro, who appeared both in solo recital and as soloist with the orchestra as part of the inaugural Brasília Piano Forum. Pianist Pablo Marquine also returned to BOS, performing with the orchestra and presenting Faces do Piano Brasileiro alongside Diogo Monzo.
Composer David Biedenbender joined the Summit as guest composer, while Tyler Austin prepared and rehearsed the orchestra and conducted one of the festival’s orchestral concerts, with Evan Harger leading the other. With sold-out concerts and enthusiastic audiences, BOS 2026 was an inspiring and highly successful edition, bringing together outstanding artists, new music, and Brasília’s vibrant cultural community.
Testimonials:
“My time at the Brasilia Orchestral Summit was an energizing experience. The faculty were incredibly kind and the musicians from the orchestra were fantastic to work with. BOS is a festival any composer aspiring to write orchestral music should attend.
