The program features the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, the dramatic Piano Concerto No. 1, and the Theme and Variations from Suite No. 3. The MSO's opening weekend special events also include a concert of music from famous film scores accompanied by circus arts choreography (7:30 p.m., Sept. 20).
