We’re in the blue to purple section of the color wheel on Now is the Time, Sunday, February 24th at 10 pm. The blues are brought to us by Frank Ticheli’s wind orchestra, John King’s string quartet for Ethel, and Libby Larsen’s flute and guitar homage to Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Charles.
A Christopher Campbell interval spans wavelengths so that we may meet Efraín Amaya’s Venezuelan-spiced flute concerto. Joshua Stamper’s Incredible Purple sings the boundary between blues and something ineffable. Well, there’s a trombone.
PROGRAM:
Frank Ticheli: Blue Shades
Libby Larsen: Blue Third Pieces
John King: No Nickel Blues
Christopher Campbell: Interlude 2
Efraín Amaya: Indigo Concerto
Joshua Stamper: Incredible Purple
