Elevate’s season-opener “Stravinsky: Reconstructed” breaks down and rebuilds Igor Stravinsky’s "Octet for Wind Instruments." The show opens with Elevate’s eight wind soloists performing a flurry of virtuosic solo and duo works showcasing the individual voices of the "Octet". They will then unite on stage to premiere Aaron Gervais' "Don't Look At".
The second half will open with Stravinsky's vibrant "Octet" followed by the premiere of Nick Vasallo's epic concerto for piano-four-hands and octet. The concerto, "ATUM: Everything and Nothing", is inspired by the myth of Atum, the Egyptian God of Creation and will feature the Grammy-nominated ZOFO Duet as soloists.
