Turning Points: WindSync + Piano

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue, WindSync offers a wind sextet program connecting George Gershwin and W. A. Mozart, two composers whose experiments pairing piano with winds indelibly changed their careers. Also featured are works by two of the West Coast’s most celebrated composers: a brand new arrangement of Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams and the heartfelt Summer Hours by Kenji Bunch.
