The Symphonic Band’s first performance of the spring quarter includes Sure-fire, a new concerto by Australian composer Catherine Likhuta, featuring faculty soloist Gail Williams. The concerto was written as a lament to the loss of native animal life on the Australian continent during the brushfires of 2019 and 2020. Also on the program is Samuel Barber’s Medea’s Dance of Vengeance, derived from the composer’s ballet suite based on the ancient Greek play by Euripedes.
