BSO ends Nelsons' era, planning a 2027 farewell

TL;DR
The Boston Symphony Orchestra announced it will not renew Andris Nelsons' contract as music director, with him remaining through the 2027 Tanglewood season. The Board cited a misalignment on the orchestra's future vision but thanked Nelsons for 13 years of service and pledged a smooth, celebratory conclusion to his tenure, following the BSO’s recent Grammy wins under his leadership.
