Event Details:

Marko Bajzer ? Sky-Tinted Water: Place Where the Water is so Still it Reflects the Sky

TBA MNSOTA Soloist

Ottorino Respighi ? Pines of Rome

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!
