Program Notes: 

Stravinsky didn’t believe he deserved his reputation of a “revolutionary” composer. Yet, his legacy proves otherwise.

In a concert that celebrates pushing boundaries, UMWO performs two of Stravinsky’s most innovative works: Symphonies of Wind Instruments, and his Piano Concerto with faculty artist Mayron Tsong. A work by American composer Steve Mackey and a percussion concerto featuring faculty artist Lee Hinkle receive their premieres on this program.
