Who says that orchestra concerts are solemn, stuffy affairs? The BSO shows its impish and playful side with these light-hearted selections. From the comic composer P.D.Q. Bach to Mendelssohn’s brilliant take on Shakespeare’s fairy-filled play, this concert will have you smiling from beginning to end. So will MNSOTA contest winner Zhou Long in Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C.
