You might not be old enough to have experienced Sensurround in movie theaters, but the UNL Wind Ensemble’s April 6, 2023 concert program was inspired by it. Imagine being within the ensemble as they perform, hearing the music from the inside out. Each of the compositions was chosen based on its potential for three-dimensional appeal. Each builds a vivid sonic environment for audience and ensemble alike: Reed’s “La Fiesta Mexicana” – a huge court surrounding an old cathedral; Brouwer’s “Sizzle” – a vibrating car waiting at a stoplight; Cuong’s “Sound and Smoke” – the metaphysical realm of Goethe’s Faust; Lauridsen’s “O Magnum Mysterium” – a stable in Bethlehem; Thomas’ “Come Sunday” – a Black Church service. Join us at 7:30 p.m. in the Johnny Carson Theater for this immersive musical experience. Arrive early to pick your spot – we’re not kidding about being within the ensemble!
