Demarre McGill (Seattle Symphony) and Anthony Prisk (Philadelphia Orchestra and NWS alum) return to lead charming chamber music for winds and brass in this special pre-season concert. Beethoven’s “table music” Rondino offers a gentle introduction by winds before Janáček’s showpiece for solely a pianist’s left hand. Written for a soldier who lost the use of his right hand during WWI, Janáček nicknamed the piece Defiance. The afternoon culminates with Michael Tilson Thomas’s jazzy Street Song  for brass.
