ONNY Presents: Dances & Escapades

Description

THE ORCHESTRA OF NOTHERN NEW YORK PRESENTS
DANCES & ESCAPADES
Guest Conductor | Dr. Brian Doyle
Soloist | Christopher Creviston, Soprano Saxophone

Music is motion, both physically and metaphorically. Thus, music inspires motion as readily as motion inspires music. This concert will open and close with two masterful ballets from Ravel and Copland. The world premiere of soprano saxophone concerto, Escapades, will feature saxophonist extraordinaire Christopher Creviston. Carlos Simon’s evocative and meditative “Breathe” will round out the program.

JOHN ANTHONY LENNON | Escapades (World Premiere)
CARLOS SIMON | Breathe
AARON COPLAND | Appalachian Spring
