Questions to Heaven: UMD Wind Ensemble
ABOUT THE EVENT
Andrea Brown, music director
Born from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jennifer Jolley’s Questions to Heaven evokes the cosmos in an expansive soundscape that brings outer space to the concert hall. What begins as a quiet and contemplative solo line quickly gains momentum, bursting with nebulous color as the piece takes off. This work is a testament to and celebration of humanities collective accomplishments, and our ability to find beauty and connectedness even in isolation.
