Bloomington Symphony Orchestra – Let’s Fall in (Star-Crossed) Love

"This music is a masterclass in orchestration, melody, harmony, and storyline, as only Prokofiev could write."
Advance Tickets: Premium, $25, Adult, $19, Senior, $16, Students are free.
The season’s third concert will open with a rollicking and witty jaunt by American composer Joan Tower, her Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. Following that, Soojung Hong, a soloist who is new to BSO audiences but familiar to Bloomington through her faculty position at Normandale Community College, will perform Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 1. The concert will end with selections from Ukrainian composer Sergei Prokofiev’s greatest work (in Maestro Laureano’s esteemed opinion), Romeo and Juliet. In Laureano's words: "This music is a masterclass in orchestration, melody, harmony, and storyline, as only Prokofiev could write."
Doors open at 1:30pm, performance starts at 2:00pm.

Bloomington Symphony Orchestra – Impressions: How Do They Do It?
April 12, 2026
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.
