SUMMARY:Beethoven Birthday Bash (February 5-7\, 2021)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra in a (slightly belated) celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday – TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE! \nThough we’d originally hoped to perform this concert for a live audience\, that was not practical under recent and current conditions. Instead\, musicians were socially-distanced\, and\, for the first time ever\, were positioned throughout the auditorium itself\, rather than onstage. The BSO recorded this performance of Beethoven’s iconic Fifth Symphony in partnership with the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. \nFriday\, February 5th @ 7:00 pm – Live Beethoven Q&A*\nSaturday\, February 6th @ 7:00 pm – Beethoven’s 5th Symphony! (available for an additional 24 hours after the initial broadcast) \n*For those who want to dig deeper\, we’ve added a live Q&A between BSO Artistic Director Alejandro Gómez Guillén and violinist/musicologist Christine Wisch as they tackle your questions and share insights about Beethoven’s music and the BSO’s recording process.  \nIf you bought an $18 ticket\, you should have already received the zoom link for this event\, exclusively for Concert+ Q&A ticket holders. \nTickets are still available for the Concert + Q&A or just the Concert itself on the BCT’s website.\nAnd don’t worry\, If you already purchased tickets back in March 2020\, they’re still valid for our on-demand presentation\, including the Q&A and you should have received an email with information about access. \nWe want this to be something we can all enjoy and be proud of. Rest assured that it will be a concert performance like none you’ve ever seen from the BSO. \nQuestions? Please call us at 812-331-2320 or email us at volunteratbso@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

SUMMARY:Made in America
DESCRIPTION:Join the BSO for a celebration of music made in the U.S.A. \nCopland’s Fanfare for the Common Man is a different sort of anthem. Composer Terence Blanchard says “Whenever I hear it\, it stops me in my tracks and makes me reflect on the goodness of man. And I know that sounds corny for some\, but it really makes me think about how\, at the end of the day\, most people in this country are good people. Honestly\, that could have been our national anthem.” \nAlso on the program\, Copland’s Appalachian Spring is iconic American music\, deeply embedded and embraced in our culture. Our performance will be of the original chamber version\, showcasing the talents of our core musicians. \nEver since its spectacular premiere in December 1893\, Dvořák’s New World Symphony has remained one of the most beloved works of the symphonic repertoire. Dvořák’s tribute to his newly adopted country is powerful yet sentimental\, filled with a sweet longing for the promise of a better life. \nTickets\nTickets are available online or at the BCT Box Office\, 114 E. Kirkwood Avenue. \nGeneral admission: $15 advance\, $18 day of show\nStudent with ID: $8 advance\, $10 day of show\nChildren 18 & under: free (ticket required) \nSEASON tickets are now available. Save on four concerts and reserve your favorite seat today! \n\n812-323-3020\nbctboxoffice.org
