The Billings Symphony Orchestra is taking to the road to promote the new season and new opportunities for young patrons. Next stop — Laurel.

BSO executive director Mario Lopez is teaming up with Laurel resident and vice president of the BSO board Margit Thorndal to present a season preview of the BSO’s 75th season on Thursday, May 2, from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Laurel Gold Club. Light snacks and a no-host bar will be offered.
