PROKOFIEV ROMEO AND JULIET
FRI, FEB 14, 8:15 PM STRATHMORE
SAT, FEB 15, 7 PM MEYERHOFF
Enjoy a romantic Valentine’s Day
date with the BSO and Prokofiev’s
Suite from Romeo and Juliet.
Originally giving his ballet a happy
ending, Prokofiev was persuaded
by colleagues to instead compose
heartbreakingly beautiful music for
the tale of these star-crossed lovers.
This Off The Cuff concert gives
more insight into a single work and
is perfect for first-time symphony
attendees and aficionados alike.
The concert is followed by a Q&A
session with Marin Alsop.
