Masquerade: a pretense. . .a disguise. . . a transformation?
Opening with Nicole Piunno’s Bright Shadow Fanfare–this program is both fiery and
mysterious, sentimental and quixotic. Gustav Holst’s Hammersmith anchors this classic
wind-band work in vivid memories of a colorful British town on the Thames river while Luis
Serrano Alarcon’s Invocación transforms an earlier piano work by Isaac Albéniz into a fiery
Latin ritual dance. The concert suite Deliverance by Etienne Crausaz is a cinematic
combination of the opposite qualities of lightheartedness and grandiosity.
