The featured work is Concertango by Spanish composer Luis Serrano Alarcón, highlighting solo alto saxophone with a jazz trio.

The concert will also feature Scent, a US premiere of a new concerto for soprano clarinet by Saül Gómez Soler. Kevin Vaughn is our E-flat clarinet soloist. Scent explores and musically depicts aromas that influence our lives, including fresh herbs, smoke in the city, a flower garden, and bitter coffee. Kurleen LaPlanche will join the band singing the premiere of a new arrangement by Larry Harrington of Babalú by Margarita Lecuona. Joaquin Rodrigo’s Per la Flor del Lliri Blau illustrates a tragic folk tale from Valencia in dramatic and beautiful melodies.
