UBC Bands honours UBC Climate Emergency Week with a powerful Concert Winds program featuring works including David Maslanka’s Mother Earth, Jodie Blackshaw’s Vulnerable Joy, and Robert Buckley’s Cascadia Suite, the performance explores themes of nature, resilience, and environmental urgency through bold, contemporary wind band repertoire. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble explores the thematic evolution from nature to architecture through a program featuring Richard Wagner’s Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral, Frank Ticheli’s Angels in the Architecture, and John Mackey’s The Frozen Cathedral, among other works that interrogate space and structure.
