BSO will play this sonic spectacular, guaranteeing an unforgettable end to the 2025—2026 concert season!
Advance Tickets: Premium, $25, Adult, $19, Senior, $16, Students are free.
To close our twelfth season with Music Director Manny Laureano, the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra will present the Grand Prize Winner of the Minnesota String and Orchestra Teachers' Mary West Solo Competition. Then, the BSO will tackle two works that will certainly make an impression. The first is from living composer (and Minnesota native) Marko Bajzer, who has selected America’s national parks as his subject, representing a number of them through music. We will open this concert with Bajzer’s Sky-Tinted Waters, a tribute to Voyageurs National Park in Northern Minnesota. Then, from the early twentieth century, we will present Ottorino Respighi’s famous representation of four scenes in Italy, the Pines of Rome. From children at play to an ancient catacomb, from moonlight to the returning Roman legion, the BSO will play this sonic spectacular, guaranteeing an unforgettable end to the 2025—2026 concert season!
Doors open at 1:30pm, performance starts at 2:00pm.

The ingredients for the cake are simple: eggs, butter, sugar, salt. Look closer, though, and you’ll see the essence of life itself. Every year, Ernestine bakes a cake and celebrates with her family on her birthday — a delicious ritual that unfolds onstage across 90 years of birthdays. We meet Ernestine and the people who sweeten her life every year on this day as she grows from 17 to 107 years old. Through glimpses of Ernestine’s life as the years go by, Birthday Candles tenderly explores motherhood, family, love, loss and finding your place in the universe.
