Tri-County Symphonic Band
October 27 @ 3:00 pm
The Tri-County Symphonic Band, under the direction of Philip Sanborn, unveils its 63rd concert season. From a poignantly powerful opening concert to a cartoon spectacular under the tent, this season invites everyone to share in the excitement generated by the very best symphonic band music ever written.
Sunday, October 27, 3:00 pm: The opening concert, “A European Adventure” combines some very new music written by Cape Cod composer Thomas Borning with some venerable works that form the basis of the symphonic band repertoire. Borning’s “Lift Off” was commissioned by the Tri-County Symphonic Band and will have its World Premiere at this concert. Karel Husa’s masterpiece “Music for Prague 1968” follows as the band experiences the profound sonic portrayal of an historic moment in the challenging political landscape of Eastern Europe. Norman Dello Joio’s “Scenes from the Louvre” delights with a Renaissance slant. An explosive opus of Frank Ticheli’s is next with dynamic bursts of musical thrills and excitement entitled “Vesuvius.” The concert concludes with an arrangement of Chick Corea’s “Spain” featuring tenor saxophonist Andrew Ponte.
