BIRMINGHAM – The Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra will again bring "Great Music – Great Times" to the area when it begins its 32nd season with the first of its five-concert season on October 29.
Under the batons of Music Director and Principal Conductor Charles Greenwell and Music Director Laureate Felix Resnick, the all-professional BBSO will again treat music lovers from the metropolitan area with top quality performances of classical music in a convenient and affordable ambiance. Earlier this year, the BBSO won its twelfth Detroit Motor City Music Award for "Most Outstanding Community Orchestra."
All BBSO concerts are at Temple Beth El, 14 Mile Road at Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Township, beginning at 7 p.m. Adult admission is $25; students and children 18 and under are free.

Maestro Greenwell, who will conduct three of this season's concerts, begins his second year as music director, after serving as Pops Conductor of the BBSO for 15 years. He is also conducting assistant of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and was the music director of the former WQRS classical music radio station in Detroit for 20 years.
Maestro Felix Resnick, who was the BBSO's conductor since its founding in 1975, will conduct two of this season's five concerts.
