A transformation is defined by the act of undergoing a change in structure, appearance, or character. Salt Lake City native and soundscape artist Patrick Harlin will be in residence for the Wind Ensemble’s performance of his work, Rapture. In Rapture, Harlin took inspiration from the transformation that many cave explorers experience after spending extended periods of time underground, absent from normal circadian rhythms.

Also on the program, is one of Steven Bryant’s earliest works for winds, “the logic of all my dreams” from Alchemy in Silent Spaces gradually evolves from sparse, calm, and distant music, defined by the nearly inaudible repetition of a single note on the piano, to a warm and expansive chorale.

Finally, composed in recognition of the Arab Spring movement, is Awakening by Jamshied Sharifi.  Awakening is a poignant representation of the events, emotions, transformations, and uncertainty surrounding the revolutionary movement.
