Mystic Motion
An unforgettable evening awaits as the Wind Ensemble launches the concert with 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. The program then turns inward with Reminiscence by Kathryn Salfelder, a poignantly crafted work that evokes reflection, memory and quiet strength. Closing out the performance is Michael Colgrass’s epic Winds of Nagual, a mystical, cinematic tour de force inspired by the writings of Carlos Castaneda that transports listeners on a vivid, imaginative journey.
Lean In & Engage
Q.
What are students learning or experiencing through this process?
Colgrass’ Winds of Nagual is one of the masterworks in the wind ensemble genre. It requires a tremendous amount of soloistic skill, a ton of varied ensemble colors and the ability to switch from style to style rapidly to advance the characters portrayed by the piece.”
– Tim Robblee, director
Q.
What are you excited about for audiences to experience?
Winds of Nagual portrays three characters and their development through programmatic music, related musical motives and a story portrayed both musically and on a projection for the audience to follow along.”
– Tim Robblee, director
