Description:
The Virginia Tech Wind Ensemble presents Trading Fours on Sunday, February 26, 2017 at Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech.

The concert includes the Virginia Tech Wind Ensemble, guest performer Carol Jantsch, tuba, faculty members Alan Weinstein, cello, Jason Crafton, trumpet, the Virginia Tech Symphony Band and the Enloe High School Wind Ensemble.

Entitled “Trading Fours,” this program is a celebration of that power. Inspired by the jazz term referring to the four-bar alternation of soloists within a chart, today’s concert features abundant soloists and jazz references including Carol Jantsch, principal tuba of The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Like Orpheus, soloists can be awe-inspiring and mesmerize audiences. We hope this program gives you the same sense of wonder Hades must have felt as he listened to Orpheus’s music.
