Boston + Brahmin = White Anglo Saxon Protestant
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The term "Boston Brahmin" is associated
with -- among other things -- the American premiere
of Brahms' Second Symphony. It was performed by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the historic
Orpheum Theatre built in 1852, on Hamilton Place
off Tremont Street. Many in the audience walked
out, and music reviewers called those who stayed
"Brahmins." Oliver Wendell Holmes called Boston
"The Hub of the Universe." Some of the so-called
"Boston Brahmins" referred to the city as
"The Athens of America." Those are some notes of
the past concerning the Brahmins, but where are
they now?
