Eastman Wind Orchestra
Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, Rochester, NY, United States
An evening of works inspired by stars, planets, and the unknowable things beyond our solar system. Holst’s classic “Jupiter”, from The Planets is joined by a new classic: Mason Bates’ “Mothership” for Wind Ensemble and electronics. David Gillingham’s “Galactic Empires” harnesses all the depths of color of a wind and percussion ensemble to vividly depict both real and imagined places in our universe. Steven Bryant’s “All stars are love” sensitively illuminates a poem by E. E. Cummings. The performance will also feature a world premiere of a new work by composer Ike Minton. Directed by Nathaniel Berman, with guest conductor Samuel Shalhoub.
