The Bilkent Symphony Orchestra opened its season on Sunday, October 11, not in the Bilkent Concert Hall as usual, but in the campus’s capacious outdoor pavilion, the Odeon. The BSO also arranged the seating layout for both audience members and musicians to allow for greater distancing.
The opening concert featured two violin concertos, one by Haydn and one by Bach, along with Piazzolla’s “The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.” The violin soloist was Yevgeniy Kostrytskyy.
