Join the West Coast Wind Symphony for its inaugural concert! Renamed and reformed from the South Bay Wind Ensemble, West Coast Wind Symphony is set out to be the premiere wind band in California. The Wind Symphony is launching this Valentine's Day with RevElation - a concert study about the ethereal visions displayed in the Book of Revelations, and the emotional visions revealed in Shakespeare's romantic masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet. RevElations will take place February 14 at 7:00PM in Redondo Beach.
Featured works for this concert include the 20th century symphony "Apocalyptic Dreams" by David Gillingham, and the jubilant "Come Sunday" by Omar Thomas—both living American composers redefining what makes classical music today. Plus two interpretations of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet by the Russian masters Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. And music from Elmer Bernstein's score for The Ten Commandments! VIP tickets include priority seating, a pre-concert lecture, and special thank you from Music Director Steven Allen Fox.
