| Details | Thomas C. Duffy, Music Director. Featuring: “Suite from the Ballet “The Firebird’.” Igor Stravinsky’s 1910 debut of “The Firebird” launched him to the forefront of contemporary composers. The ballet, about a beautiful bird-woman who is captured by and later rescues a young prince, is widely praised for its symbiosis between décor, choreography, and music. • “Cave of the Winds” by Russell Peck. This unique and mysterious theater piece is played from memory in the dark. The premise is that the members of the band are blind and can communicate only through touch and sound. • “A Mother of A Revolution!” by Omar Thomas is a celebration of the bravery of trans women, and in particular, Marsha ‘Pay It No Mind’ Johnson, who is credited with being one of the instigators of the famous Stonewall uprising of June 28,1969 – one of the pivotal events of the LGBTQ liberation movement of the 20th century. • “Luminance” by Shuying Li explores the interplay between light and darkness, seeking to evoke a sense of radiance and brilliance through its music. • A Leonard Bernstein triptych: “Almighty Father” (Chorale from Mass), “Make Our Garden Grow” (from Candide Suite), Slava! |
