UMBC Wind Ensemble: Fire
Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert HallWhat could possibly bring together the intricate melodies of Indian raga, the driving beats of techno, the infectious groove of New Orleans brass band music, the drama of powerful Western Classical works, and the innovative jazz influences of Charles Mingus? The answer, brought to life by the UMBC Wind Ensemble, is fire — in all its primal power and rich symbolism. This program will feature the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids Brass Band (Jared Perry, director), internationally renowned tabla artist Neelamjit Dhillon, the UMBC Percussion Ensemble (Dustin Donahue. director), and UMBC's String Chamber Orchestra (Philip Mann, director).
