Autumn Concert of the Hessian Youth Wind Orchestra

The Hessian Youth Wind Orchestra presents an autumn concert programme bridging tradition and contemporary works in symphonic wind orchestra literature. The centrepiece is Paul Hindemith's "Symphony in Bb", complemented by works from Karel Husa and Vaclav Nelhybel, which illuminate the influence of European composers on the American wind orchestra scene. The second half features John Mackey's "Soprano Saxophone Concerto" and Dana Wilson's "Dance of the New World".

Malte Hornbostel, a musician from the orchestra's own ranks, performs the solo part in the saxophone concerto. Guest conductor Björn Zimmermann leads the ensemble. The event lasts approximately 2 hours including an interval.
