Bloomington Symphony Orchestra: The Storyteller and the Poet

The BSO is proud to present the music of two composers for this concert, each with a language that speaks to our hearts and imagination. William Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony is a re-discovered American gem that paints portraits through his impeccable orchestration and melodies supported by perfect harmonies. Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin in D Major is a model of presumed simplicity and musical economy that manifests as poetry, line by line. Welcome back BSO concertmaster Michael Sutton as he offers his take on this time-tested masterpiece.
