"Life finds a way." This famous line from the 1993 film Jurassic Park points to the futility of human control in the face of nature, and urges humility over hubris when interacting with forces greater than ourselves.The Boston College Symphony Orchestra spring concert probes this tension between humility and hubris, exploring musical subjects from climate change to the cosmos to the Cretaceous Period. The concert features Rossini's heroic William Tell Overture, Mozart's operatic Clarinet Concerto in A major (Patrick Yulin Liu '29, clarinet soloist and winner of the 2025 Concerto-Aria Competition), "Jupiter" from Holst's The Planets, and Theme from Jurassic Park by John Williams. The program's emotional center is a world premiere performance of Watershed, a piece written for string orchestra by Boston College alumnus Ethan Behr '25, which chronicles the cataclysmic flooding in Vermont and offers music as a response for "addressing the climate crisis, fostering empathy, and inspiring action." Conducted by Anna Wittstruck.

The Boston College Symphony Orchestra appears at the annual BC Arts Festival to perform “pops” selections from favorite movies, including the recently-adapted-as-live-action film, How to Train Your Dragon, Jurassic Park, and a co-commissioned new medley of songs from K-pop Demon Hunters ("Golden," "Your Idol," "This is What it Sounds Like"), arranged by Nicholas Hersh. This event is particularly appropriate for families with young children, as well as members of the local and campus communities.
