Wind Ensemble

Timothy J. Robblee, Artistic Director & Conductor

Mystic Motion

An unforgettable evening awaits with the Wind Ensemble performing the works of two Pulitzer Prize–winning composers. First, Michael Colgrass’s epic Winds of Nagual — a mystical, cinematic tour de force inspired by the writings of Carlos Castaneda — transports listeners on a vivid journey. Then be swept away by the bold imagination and sonic brilliance of Julia Wolfe’s Zigzag, an encore performance of her high-energy, rhythmically charged work pulsing with drive and daring. Guest conductor Shaun Evans leads the ensemble in Kathryn Salfelder’s Reminiscence, a poignant and elegantly crafted work that evokes a sense of reflection and quiet strength.
