Presented by Contra Costa Wind Symphony
The Contra Costa Wind Symphony invites you to an exciting afternoon of musical storytelling with their upcoming concert, Heroes & Villains, taking place at 2:00 PM in the Hoffman Theater at the Lesher Center for the Arts.
The performance features an impressive lineup of dramatic repertoire, including Prokofiev’s whimsical Lt. Kijé Suite, a thrilling journey in Mary Shelley Meets Frankenstein, and Berlioz's hauntingly vivid "Dream of a Witches' Sabbath" from Symphonie Fantastique (Movement 5).
A central highlight of the afternoon will be a guest appearance by acclaimed flute soloist Gary Lewis from Humboldt State University, who will perform Charles Griffes’ beautifully evocative masterpiece, Poem (often associated with the lush, impressionistic style of Fauré).
approx. 1 hour 45 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission
