The Symphonic Band’s first program of the winter quarter opens with Leonard Bernstein’s raucous tribute to his friend Mstislav “Slava” Rostropovich. Zhou Tian’s Nocturne uses musical material from his first string quartet, the last piece he wrote before leaving his native China. The first half of the concert concludes with James Curnow’s Symphonic Variants, featuring Concerto Competition winner Oliver Stark, and the second half is devoted to David Del Tredici’s monumental symphony for band, In Wartime.
