For the first time since March, the musicians of the BSO are reuniting (at a safe distance) to present an evening of music to our beloved Bloomington Community. We invite you to join us as we dust the COVID-19 cobwebs off our musical instruments and bring you our first performance at the brand new Switchyard Park.

This is a free public event – bring your own seating, blankets, a picnic, and the whole family (leashed pets are welcome) and get ready to enjoy some music out in the fresh air!

* Audience for this outdoor concert is limited to 150 people
* All attendees over 2 yrs of age must wear a face mask
