VSO: Romeo, Juliet, and the Firebird
Main Stage
About
VSO explores the music of two iconic and powerful 20th century ballets, alongside Boulanger’s bright celebration of spring. In this concert, multiple cameras capture the orchestra in close-ups on a large screen, giving the audience an intimate view of the virtuosic musicians as they tackle the scores. Andrew Crust leads an immersive discussion on the background and creation of these masterpieces, the lives of Stravinsky and Prokofiev, and the story of the ballets.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is preceded at 6:30 p.m. by Musically Speaking, a free pre-concert discussion that provides entertaining insight into the evening’s program.
