A D E L A I D E W I N D O R C H E S T R A is dedicated

to presenting works that go further than

traditional wind and brass ensemble

repertoire. Our aim is to delight and

inspire as we traverse a wide range of

compositions and styles that bring to

life the unique constellation of musical

soundscapes available to wind orchestra.

O U R 2 01 5 S E A S O N will incorporate works

large and small, new and old, by some

of music’s most important composers.

Our programs are sure to demonstrate

vibrancy and subtlety, sonority and

rhythmic energy found in a stunningly

diverse array of repertoire. Joining us will

be concert pianist KO N S TA N T I N S H A M R AY ,

and jazz giant A N DY F I RT H , whose

supreme musical abilities will no doubt

thrill and astound.

Adelaide Wind Orchestra continues to

develop and consolidate its youthful

beginnings, and looks forward to your

interest and support through our most

exciting year yet!

Open 2015 with a twirl, and join Guest

Conductor DAV I D P O L A I N and Adelaide

Wind Orchestra on a cascading global

tour of human passion, as we celebrate the

very beating heart of music: the DA N C E .

Following his highly successful guest

appearance in 2014, the carnival

atmosphere of the ADELAIDE FRINGE

forms a festive backdrop for David’s

return, with this shimmering selection of

rumbles, sashays, stomps and whirls.

Sitting still is not on the program.

After an initial feast of mesmerising

K L E Z M E R , a pause – and then the bell

will toll an untimely twelve, to herald

in Saint-Saëns’ delectable, relentless

M AC A B R E - P I E C E of jiggling bones.

The bittersweet ecstasy of ill-fated

young love then takes to the boards with

the sensual Cha-Chas, and smooth cool

of 1950s New York’s Upper W E S T S I D E ,

before the energy level is notched up

even further for the fiery LI B E RTA N G O ,

and the pulsing Cuban rhythms of

Revueltas’ mystical S E N S E M AYA .

To finish, we ballet – as the heart-

rending theme of young love is

reprised with astonishing beauty by

R O M E O A N D J U LI E T , and then left to

linger in our enraptured souls.

H I N D E M I T H : Geschwindmarsch

by Beethoven , a paraphrase from Symphonia Serena

H OV H A N E S S : Symphony No. 4

It’s always a treat to revel in a rebel, so

we have collected together some of

music’s finest misfits, to present you

with a showcase of musical mavericks.

Our heroes have been called crazy,

unhinged, irreverent and wayward.

They don’t always put their tones in a

row, or keep standard time, but they

don’t always don’t, either. These guys

don’t belong to the latest school, or

some trendy movement, they aren’t

in uniform, and if you tell them what

to do, they probably won’t. They don’t

even really have that much in common.

Except M U S I C .

Acres of music. Landscapes of music.

Worlds, oceans, cities, machines,

and rambling country band-loads of

wonderful music.

So join us in celebration of our

favourite un-rutted, free-wheeling,

clique-busting heroes.

They are sometimes noisy, and

perhaps, on occasion, even a little bit

rude, but after M AV E R I C K S you will be

left in no doubt that they have each

marked the world a more interesting

and wondrous place.

A N DY F I RT H is widely regarded as one

of the most outstanding jazz clarinet

players in the world today, having

played internationally with some of

the finest performers and ensembles

in both classical and jazz music.

His technical mastery of the

clarinet and saxophone, unrivaled

expression of tone, and endless,

devoted enthusiasm have earned

Andy a reputation as a performer

In 2008, Andy performed a ‘Tribute

to the great jazz clarinetists’, with jazz

clarinet legend Buddy DeFranco

as his guest artist at Carnegie

Hall. As a composer, Andy has 500

compositions to his name which

include, in addition to jazz, a number

of classically-oriented orchestral and

chamber works.

In 2006, Andy received a MO Award

for ‘best live jazz performer’, and in

2015 A D E L A I D E W I N D O R C H E S T R A

presents you with this very special

Following his unprecedented success

at the Sydney International Piano

Competition in 2008, KO N S TA N T I N

S H A M R AY has proceeded to establish

himself as a distinguished and formidable

figure on the international concert stage.

For our September Masterworks

concert, A D E L A I D E W I N D O R C H E S T R A

is honoured to invite you to join with

Konstantin in sharing this memorable

evening of landmark music.

With two feet firmly planted, we launch

with a fanfare on themes from one of

the twentieth century’s most famous

premières, G U R R E‑ LI E D E R , followed

by the AU S T R A LI A N P R E M I È R E of

ground-breaking Swedish trombonist

C H R I S T I A N LI N D B E R G ’ S fervent wind

and percussion concerto.

Our theme of D E F I A N C E then emerges

fully-fledged, first in JA N ÁČE K ’ S V Z D O R ,

a resolute masterwork for piano in the

left-hand, and then, in a moving tribute to

virtuous rebellion, resistance and hope,

K A R E L H U S A’ S M U S I C FO R P R AG U E 196 8 .

Finally, the pièce de résistance –

the incomparable R H A P S O DY I N B LU E ,

conceived in the crucible of the jazz

revolution, and performed for you with

impassioned virtuosity by Mr Konstantin

Shamray and Adelaide Wind Orchestra.

D E M E I J : Symphony No. 1, Lord of the RingsR E S P I G H I : Pini di Roma

To open the spectacular December

M A S T E RWO R K S concert, Adelaide

Wind Orchestra is proud to

present the world première of a

new composition by Adelaide’s very

own DAV I D J O H N L A N G . We would

be delighted for you to join us in

capturing this very special, never-to-

be-repeated moment in music history.

Then two of the most enduring and

popular programmatic concert works

in the repertoire, each famous for so

ingeniously employing the evocative

timbre and subtle complexion of wind

instruments to tell their tales.

The epic stage, and beloved characters

of LO R D O F T H E R I N G S are panoramically

portrayed in the award-winning first

symphony of eminent wind orchestra

composer J O H A N D E M E I J .

Then the Eternal City gives up its

layered secrets, as R E S P I G H I leads us

into the hidden nooks and crannies

of Rome, inviting us to listen, as the

children play their childhood games,

deep shadows haunt the ancient tombs,

the nightingale sings its song to the

moon, and the legions march their long,

straight road – all watched over by those

ancient sentinels, the PI N E S O F R O M E .
