2023 Program
2023 Fall Season
- The Seasons
The timeless music of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (1725, public domain) is renewed through a fresh and contemporary approach. The Seasons starts off with the hopeful sound of spring evolving into fast and urgent music that evokes the heat of summer. Movement 2 moves through the gentle breeze of fall and movement 3 concludes with the dark undertones of a cold winter. This production is geared towards a younger ensemble with smart orchestration and voicings carefully chosen to maximize any ensemble's potential. The use of electronics balances out the ensemble sound and allows a smaller band to create a lush and modern sound on the field!
