Irrational Joy
The Northshore Concert Band kicks off the summer with Irrational Joy on Saturday, June 7, at Loyola Academy’s McGrath Family Performing Arts Center in Wilmette, IL. The program is a jubilant collection of music designed to lift your spirits.
Steven Bryant’s title work, Irrational Joy, is an exhilarating ode to boundless happiness, filled with whirling woodwinds, brilliant brass episodes, and driving percussion that propels the music forward with infectious energy.
Perhaps one of the best-known works for winds, Gustav Holst’s classic First Suite in E-flat is complemented by Jun Nagao’s lilting The Earth, an exuberant composition that weaves together fragmented themes from some of Holst’s most beloved works, including The Planets, St. Paul’s Suite, and his suites for wind band.
Journey south of the border with Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, a musical postcard encapsulating the essence of sophisticated Cuban and Mexican ballroom dance through lively rhythms and soulful melodies.
Paul Lavender’s sweeping and invigorating arrangement of John Williams’ “Adventures on Earth” from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial brings the Band’s 69th season to a rousing conclusion.
The concert begins at 3:00 P.M. at Loyola Academy’s McGrath Family Performing Arts Center in Wilmette, IL.
