Iconic Mother Church Sunday School building to become new home of the Boston Youth Symphony
By A.Z. Madonna Boston Globe Staff
After over half a century based at the Boston University College of Fine Arts, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras (BYSO) has announced that it has acquired a space of its own at 235 Huntington Ave. at the southern end of the Christian Science Plaza, across the street from Symphony Hall. There, it plans to establish the new BYSO Youth Center for Music.
The BYSO negotiated a long-term lease with the First Church of Christ, Scientist to acquire the 30,000-square-foot Brutalist building, which was built in 1971 and designed by Araldo Cossutta, an associate in I.M. Pei’s architectural firm. Renovations to the space are scheduled to begin in mid-April, and the BYSO plans to start hosting the first programs in the new space in the fall.
