Two
sound worlds collide in a program entitled
"...of
a rare and special type..." The University of Maryland Wind
Orchestra, led by music director Michael Votta and assistant conductor William
Lake, is joined by the UMD School of Music Artists-in-Residence the Orpheus
Chamber Orchestra to perform W.A. Mozart’s Serenade in B-flat (“Gran Partita”),
K. 361 and Edgar Varese’s Octandre, Intégrales, and
Density 21.5.
During Orpheus’s 2011-2012 residency in the UMD School of Music, Orpheus members engaged in coaching sessions, rehearsals and masterclasses, providing students the opportunity to experience the Orpheus conductor-less ensemble performance process. In this concert, members of this world-renowned chamber orchestra will join the UMD student performers in bringing these very different works before the audience.
