From the exuberance of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture and the haunting beauty of Eric Whitacre’s Sleep to Chen Yi’s Dragon Rhyme and Michael Colgrass’s imaginative Winds of Nagual, the concert explores music rooted in legend and imagination. Frank Ticheli’s energetic Blue Shades concludes the evening with a tribute to American blues and jazz traditions.
