Prepare for an extraordinary journey through the cosmos with the Capital Wind Symphony’s Intergalactic Soundscapes. This enthralling concert will transport you to the marvels of the universe, all expressed through the enchanting art of music.
Our cosmic odyssey begins with Gustav Holst's majestic "Jupiter" from The Planets, a piece that captures the grandeur and splendor of the king of the gods. This powerful composition sets the tone for our musical exploration of the stars.
The journey continues with a tribute to the inspirational works of American film composer John Williams. Renowned for his iconic film scores, Williams drew from classical masterpieces to create his legendary sounds. We’ll present transcriptions of his most celebrated works, including Hunsberger's transcription of music from the Star Wars Trilogy and Lavender's exciting presentation of Adventures on Earth from E.T. (The Extra-Terrestrial). Experience the epic themes that have captivated audiences and become synonymous with adventure and heroism.
Roshanne Etezady’s *Forty-Eight Colors of the Full Moon* will immerse you in a tranquil moonlit realm. This piece delicately evokes the moon’s ethereal beauty, inviting a serene and contemplative experience.
Eric Whitacre’s *Goodnight Moon*, inspired by the beloved children’s book, offers a gentle and soothing respite. Its serene melodies provide a peaceful interlude, perfect for reflection amid the cosmic splendor.
We invite all Star Wars and Star Trek fans to come dressed in your favorite space-themed cosplay. Embrace your inner Jedi, Sith, Starfleet officer, or alien adventurer, and join us in celebrating the wonders of the universe.
Join us for *Intergalactic Soundscapes* and let the Capital Wind Symphony guide you on an unforgettable voyage through the stars. It’s an experience that promises to be as vast and captivating as the cosmos itself.
