Winds and Brass take flight from the lone voice of Berio's Trumpet Sequenza, to the full complement of orchestral brass in Magnus Lindberg's Ottoni and Peteris Vasks' Music for Fleeting Birds. Pianist Conor Hanick shines in technicolor with Messiaen's Colors of the Celestial City, an ode to the stars in this fanfare of a Season Opener.
