The woodwind and percussion sections of the VSO will take listeners on a tour of sound and rhythm. The percussion section performs two dynamic selections (Alejandro Viñao’s Estudios de Frontera and Dave Hall’s Escape Velocity), and selections by Francis Poulenc and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov are presented by the woodwinds. Don’t miss this opportunity to more deeply explore the sounds of these key orchestra sections in an intimate performance.
