BCA: Soul and Irony

Bloomington Center for the Arts, Minneapolis/St. Paul

Manny Laureano, Music Director

Michael Sutton, Violin & Conductor

The BSO is pleased to present the Minnesota premiere performance of Margaret Bond's

Montgomery Variations, a beautiful and powerful piece. Our own Michael Sutton will rise from his seat as concertmaster to lead the BSO strings in a violin solo by Franz Schubert. A full-length musical joke in the form of Shostakovich's 9th symphony will round out the program, guaranteed to leave you smiling at his many musical winks and nods!

Margaret Bonds – Montgomery Variations

Franz Schubert – Rondo in A for Violin, D 438

Michael Sutton, violin & conductor

Dmitri Shostakovich – Symphony No. 9 in E-flat major, Op. 70
