It’s going to be an evening full of passion and tragedy at the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra takes to the stage to present Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. The orchestra hasn’t performed this work in 20 years and it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser just in time for Valentine’s Day. The romance doesn’t end there, violinist Andréa Tyniec  is known for her exciting interpretations of modern composers and she’ll do just that with Peteris Vasks’ Distant Light.
