Sound Planet, Part 2 opens with Profanation from Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1. Based on the biblical story of Jeremiah, Profanation tells of a prophet’s warning of the coming destruction of Jerusalem, much like the dire warnings from climate change experts who have been ignored for decades. The Wind Ensemble is proud to then feature guest soloist Dr. Timothy Powell in “Falcon Fantasy” from Frank Ticheli’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone, as well as guest artist Gerry DeLoach in the world premiere of a new work by composer Denis DiBlasio. The second half of the concert explores rising sea levels with new music from Björk and the consortium premiere of Anthropogenic Tides by Tina Tallon.
