I did this exercise once before (unfortunately, I don't have immediate access to the compilation), and it turned out the BSO's programs are full of 20th century music. I doubt the BSO is unique in this regard. What's more, the BSO typically commissions at least one or two new pieces each season, and performs several other world, US and Boston premieres each season. len.
