VCU Symphonic Wind Ensemble presents “Horizons: Journeys Through Land, Sea, and Sky”

Every life is a journey. Some paths carry us across familiar landscapes, while others lead us toward places we have never imagined. Along the way, we encounter history, tradition, courage, beauty, and one another.

VCU Music’s Symphonic Wind Ensemble, joined by the Henrico Concert Band, presents “Horizons: Journeys Through Land, Sea and Sky” with music that explores journeys of many kinds. Travel by railroad in Magnolia Star, venture across the sea in Of Sailors and Whales, encounter the sounds of another culture in Fantasy in French, and revisit musical traditions through the melodies of Percy Grainger and Gustav Holst. We remember the courage represented by Old Ironsides March and Flight of Valor, and finally look upward in Sure on this Shining Night.

At the heart of the program is Each Life Converges, a reminder that although our journeys may begin in different places and follow different paths, our lives inevitably intersect with those of others.

The VCU Wind Ensemble and Henrico Concert Band invite you to share in this musical journey—a journey across land, sea, and sky, and ultimately toward the places where our paths meet.

Performance will take place on Thursday, October 8, at 7:00 PM in the Sonia Vlahcevic Concert Hall at the W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts (922 Park Avenue, Richmond, VA).

Tickets range from $7-15.
