Description:
Mallory Thompson, conductor; Dylan Hong, soprano saxophone (Northwestern Concerto Competition winner)
Combining the twelve-tone technique of the Second Viennese School with Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik, Cindy McTee’s Notezart is a fusion of musical time periods. The program continues with the unabashedly optimistic finale to Bernstein’s Candide, “Make Our Garden Grow.” The first half of the program concludes with Nemmers Prize winner William Bolcom’s Concerto for Soprano Saxophone and Band, featuring soloist Dylan Hong, a 2022 Northwestern Concerto Competition winner. The second half of the program is devoted to two dramatically different American works for winds: the recently discovered Octet for Brasses and Piano by Florence Price, and Aaron Copland’s resplendent Emblems.
