Illusions
The Portland Gay Symphonic Band will create a new type of concert experience, both for the performer and the audience member. The season of Illusions will both visually and musically create, transform, and recreate a musical experience as we know it. The audience participants will often ask themselves if what they are hearing is real or just, illusion.
