The concert will feature romantic music from beloved composers The BYU Symphonic Band will dedicate their Feb. 14 performance to a celebration of Valentine’s Day. The concert, titled “Unexpected Love Songs,” will take audiences through a range of romantic expressions from some of the world’s most treasured composers. “From Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to John Philip Sousa’s ‘Fairest of the Fair,’ we will present songs that were inspired by love,” said director Kirt Saville. “We will feature student soloist Jonah Hoskins singing Puccini’s beloved ‘Nessun Dorma’ and conclude the evening with a medley of tunes by George Gershwin.” Saville described the concert as “a wonderful mixture of music that portrays the joy, agony and beauty of love. Music has always been the best way to express the feelings that cannot be expressed in words.”   Tickets and Show Details Performance Dates and Times: Feb. 14 | 7:30 p.m. Location: de Jong Concert Hall, Franklin S.
