Chiaroscuro

Wednesday, November 5th - Saskatoon Community Bands Present "Chiaroscuro"

7:30pm at the Broadway Theatre

Featuring Wind Ensemble & Jazz Band

ABOUT TONIGHT’S CONCERT

Saskatoon Community Bands present CHIAROSCURO, featuring the Wind Ensemble under the direction of Nick Fanner, and the Jazz Band under the direction of Doug Gilmour. Chiaroscuro – A term borrowed from the world of art, literally means from “dark to light”.  It is both a technique and a concept. It is a means of transitioning from shadows to light, or a means of creating contrasts. In a musical sense, it can be the contrast of major to minor keys, the emotional contrast of louds and softs, or the change of tempo. The repertoire in this concert from both performing ensembles will exemplify each of those techniques, providing for a truly exciting and energized listening experience. From the dark of "The Lord of the Rings” to the uplifting almost angelic writing of Eric Whitacre’s “Lux Aurumque”, the contrast of the dark and the light has never been more apparent.
