A new, hour-long work by local composer Ty Emerson, for the full ensemble with electronic playback. Cast as a Requiem, the work focuses on the events of January 6. In place of the Latin text, the piece features quotes from Shakespeare, Cervantes, Elizabeth I, as well as political figures, testimony, texts and tweets. The band is really stretching themselves, technically and emotionally as we prepare for the premiere.
