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.”
