Pathway to Dignity

The music of John Williams is timeless and some of the most important of the 20th and 21st centuries.  And he didn't just compose movie scores! Brian Lydeen presents the engaging "Escapades" for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra, and the orchestra features the fun and familiar music of this giant of a composer.

The Future of Music

Hear Native American themes with Dvorak’s New World Symphony and Eric Ewazen’s Shadowcatcher — a concerto featuring our brass quintet and inspired by Edward Curtis’s photography of Native American people in the early twentieth century.
