ABOUT THE EVENT

Andrea Brown, music director

For its season finale concert, the UMD Wind Ensemble presents a performance of works that explore renewal and hope. From a new perspective on the legends behind The Engulfed Cathedral originally explored by Debussy, to a new setting of songs from an 1835 songbook, this concert shows the depth of wind ensemble repeirtoire and virtuosity.

Harrison J. Collins: The Hymn of Ys
Davide Biedenbender (arr. Tyler Austin): Kyrie (for Machut and Pärt)
Dennis Llinás: Un Cafecito
