Romeo & Juliet Reimagined

KUSC is broadcasting the ninth concert of Pacific Symphony's 2014-2015 classical concert series tonight at 7 PM (PST).

Listen to Alan Chapman's preview on SoundCloud.

We went to the Saturday and Sunday concert on April 18 and 19.

If you have never heard the "happy ending" version of Romeo & Juliet, here's your chance.  :)
