Spirits
Portland Gay Symphonic Band in Concert
The first performance in the Season of Illusions welcomes spirits new and old. The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin "spiritus" (breath). This musical sˇance will attempt to find a connection between life and the after-life, including dramatic visual art as well.
Major works performed include Robert W. Smith's monumental Symphony No. 1 'The Divine Comedy', and Eric Whitacre's Ghost Train. Please come and join us for this artistic Halloween treat, and enjoy Spirits.
