HORIZONS — A Journey Beyond the Familiar
What happens when the wind band meets the extraordinary sound of the pipa?
Join the USM Wind Ensemble Friday, October 2 at Mannoni Auditorium, Thomas V. Fraschillo Stage, for HORIZONS — an exhilarating musical journey across cultures, styles, and generations.
The program takes you from the vibrant energy of Valerie Coleman’s Roma, through the spirited character of Germaine Tailleferre’s Marche and the mystery of David Biedenbender’s Enigma.
After intermission, experience the remarkable artistry of Gao Hong, solo pipa, performing her own A Musical Journey: Concerto for Pipa with the wind ensemble. The evening continues with Berta Alves de Sousa’s Porto Heroico before reaching a powerful conclusion with the Finale of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4.
One stage. Six works. A world of sound.
Featuring Gao Hong, Pipa Soloist
Come hear music that crosses horizons.
