Join the UNL Wind Ensemble and guest soloist Rusty White as they present the world premiere of Randall Snyder’s Eight Untitled Pieces for solo double bass and wind and percussion ensemble. With an underlying current of energy provided by the abstract expressionist painters and “beat” poets of mid-twentieth century New York, the program will also include Jonathan Newman’s Rivers of Bowery and Leslie Bassett’s Sounds, Shapes and Symbols. A lush and vibrant pair of compositions, each delicately linked to Igor Stravinsky, completes the set: Kenneth Hesketh’s evocative Diaghilev Dances, and the regional premiere of John Mackey’s stunning Kingfishers Catch Fire. Tickets: General admission $5, student/senior $3, available at the door approx. one hour before the performance.
