Marine Chamber Orchestra, Sunday, April 6 at 2 p.m. Jim Rouse Theatre Performing Arts Center
Description: Anchoring this performance are beloved works of two masters: Darius Milhaud’s remarkable La Création du monde, Opus 81a, and Joseph Haydn’s folk-like and highly original Symphony No. 88 in G, Hob. I:88. Featured alongside these masterpieces is the contemporary music of a young composer. Front and center in this performance is the world première of Burst, by Cole Reyes, the winner of the Marine Band’s Call for Scores, held in 2024 and supported by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. The composition was selected from nearly 80 submissions and was inspired by images released from NASA’s James Webb telescope and the many celestial phenomena that happen constantly in our universe. The concert will also include works by composers Florence Price and Caroline Shaw as well as Viet Cuong’s Extra(ordinarily) Fancy: Concerto for Two Oboes, featuring soloists Master Gunnery Sgt. Leslye Barrett and Gunnery Sgt. Tessa Gross.
