The Hobart Wind Symphony with conductor Simon Reade will premiere Angus Davison’s striking new work Fantasia on a Webern Row alongside works by Reade, David Lang and Alan Hovhaness.
Davison describes Fantasia as “beginning spare and stripped-back”, but reaching a climax in which “vast sonorities come in powerful waves, surging and receding and surging again”.
Lang’s influential Cheating, Lying, Stealing will be performed in an arrangement for wind symphony by the composer himself. Arguably one the outstanding examples of late 20th Century post-minimalism, this work is rarely performed in Australia and is a must-hear.
