Opening with Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s Battalia à 10, the orchestra will paint a vivid and innovative depiction of a 17th-century battle that will captivate with its imaginative techniques and lively rhythms. Following is Viet Cuong’s Extra(ordinarily) Fancy, a contemporary piece featuring two oboe soloists. NOCCO’s very own Janet Putnam will delight you with this piece’s playful energy, intricate textures, and unexpected twists.
