Program selections include an untitled improv/composition by Hodge and Vu; Cobra, by John Zorn; Pendulum, by Steve Reich with cello improvisation by guest David Balataro; and Workers Union, by Louis Andriessen, performed by the UW Percussion Ensemble.
On Thursday, May 27, the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and UW Choirs perform The Future of Fire, by Zhou Long; Our Enduring Spirit, by Stephen Michael Newby; Angels in the Architecture, by Frank Ticheli, featuring faculty artist Joyce Guyer, soprano; and Aspen Jubilee, by Ron Nelson.
