WP Percussion Ensemble performs new and classic works.
Directed by Payton MacDonald
Shea Auditorium
On Thursday, December 5th at 7:30 PM in Shea Auditorium, the WP Chamber Winds and Preparatory Ensemble will present their final concert of the semester, titled “Ragas for Winds.” Admission is free and open to the public.
The concert features composer-in-residence Aakash Mittal, whose compositions “employ colorful dissonances, meditative silences, and angular rhythms to express environments and spaces ranging from the American west to the dense streets of Kolkata.”
The concert also highlights a side-by-side performance with Honors High School musicians from the area, performing a piece by Mittal.
Other composers on the program are Brian Balmages, Katahj Copley, Jacob DeHaan, Adolphus Hailstork, Julie Giroux, Howard Hanson and Amber Sheeran.
WP Choirs perform a variety of holiday repertoire under the direction of new Director of Choral Activities Dr. Hannah Carr.
