Poulenc’s Aubade, originally composed as a ballet about women’s solitary experiences, features faculty piano soloist Rita Sloan. Zhou Long’s Concerto for Wind Symphony evokes ancient Chinese rituals and sounds in a tour-de-force for the ensemble, contrasted by Stravinsky's Octet for Winds, a neoclassical masterpiece.
