Tim Robblee, conductor

The Wind Ensemble presents a mix of old and new works highlighting the unique qualities of percussion, wind and brass instruments. Program highlights include Antonín Dvořák’s Serenade for Winds and Jennifer Jolley’s Lightway, a 2017 work based on Keith Sonnier’s light installation at Munich Airport. The piece musically portrays the rhythmic placement of red and blue lights emanating from the neon installation. Just as the panes of glass, mirrors, and aluminum sheets refract and scatter the colorful neon light, the ostinato is diffused amongst the different colors in the ensemble.
