The Mason Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band open the Spring 2024 performance season with a joint concert performance. The Mason Symphonic Band will open the concert with traditional and contemporary works for wind bands composed by a variety of composers. The Mason Wind Symphony will present one of the cherished historical works for wind band, Vincent Persichetti’s Symphony No. 6. Nicolas Slonimsky described Persichetti’s music as “remarkable for its polyphonic skill in fusing the seemingly incompatible idioms of classicism, romanticism, and stark modernism (with) Italianate diatonicism.” Other selected works in this concert include the Mason Wind Symphony premiere of Nkeiru Okoye’s Voices Shouting Out.
