The Symphonic Band’s first spring performance includes Vincent Persichetti’s high-energy Symphony No. 6; unique in its daring harmonies and use of pitched and unpitched percussion, it is widely recognized as a masterwork of the wind band repertoire. Also on the program is David Biedenbender’s Enigma, in which the musical theme is gradually revealed and cycles kaleidoscopically through 21 variations.
