Concert Description
In this, our debut performance at the Orpheum Annex, the ensemble will present music from two iconic scores, Sergei Prokofiev's music for the ballet, Romeo and Juliet, and Leonard Bernstein's music for the contemporary musical theatre adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of love and fate, West Side Story. The concert will also include an arrangement by VBO member, Andrew Poirier, of Eric Whitacre's wildly popular choral work, Sleep. The evening's program, presented without intermission, will invite the listener to not only be immersed in the shimmer and shine of a large brass ensemble, but also share in the journey these tragic love stories take in the ways music can express that which is beyond words.
