The streaming service includes archived Live from Orchestra Hall webcasts of Classical Series performances. It also includes the Classroom Edition expansion, which webcasts concerts designed for schoolchildren.
The streaming service, DSO Replay, is traditionally offered as a benefit for people who donate $50 per year or more to the DSO’s annual fund. That fee has been waived. The DSO expects to add web-based “live” concert experiences.
