The Laurel Outlook – Jaci Webb
Billings, MT – Oct. 29, 2024 – There was a festive ambiance at the Billings Symphony Orchestra’s “Beethoven 5” concert Saturday night at the Alberta Bair Theater.
Saturday was the kick-off to the Prelude Society, a move by the BSO to bring more young professionals into the fold. Twenty-six music lovers, all aged under 40, took part in the Bin 119 mixer before the concert. Continuing the theme of mixing, the program combined an innovative piece by a living composer, “Blue Cathedral” by Jennifer Higdon, with a work written in the 1700s — the big one — Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.
