In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra members have invited their former conductor, Charles Latshaw, to return for their Homecoming concert. The orchestra is set to perform at 7 p.m. Oct. 6 in the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.
Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Buskirk box office or online at bctboxoffice.org. Student tickets cost $8, and regular admission ranges from $12- $17. Prices will increase if tickets are purchased on the day of the performance. Those 18 and under are free but still require a ticket.
The ensemble will play the overture to Johann Strauss’ “The Gypsy Baron” and a trumpet concerto by Lauren Bernofsky, a Bloomington resident and composer. John Rommel, a professor at the Jacobs School of Music, will be performing the trumpet concerto.
Following an intermission, the orchestra will end the concert with Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major, conducted by the current artistic director for the BSO Gómez Guillén.
