Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Composed Connections

 

 Maestro Hangen has chosen a trio of quintessential jazz-influenced American composers – with whom he shares connections – for a dynamically diverse first half. As Music Director for Omaha Symphony in 1986, he commissioned David Amram to write the program’s opening American Dance Suite. As a conducting fellow at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood in the 1970’s, our conductor counted Boston’s Gunther Schuller and Lawrence-born legend Leonard Bernstein as teachers. The second half showcases our virtual pipe organ with Alexandre Guilmant’s full-blown, French Romantic symphony, featuring returning guest organist Randy Steere, a long-time Vista Philharmonic patron and donor of this extraordinary instrument.

AMRAM – American Dance Suite
SCHULLER – An Arc Ascending
BERNSTEIN – On the Waterfront Suite
GUILMANT – Symphony No. 2

Special Guest:  Randy Steere, organ

NO STATIC: Tribute to Steely Dan (2)

No Staticone of the few Steely Dan tribute bands in the country, is made up of 10 musicians from around the Boston area. They specialize in expertly performing the music of "Steely Dan." Re-creating that bluesy jazz-rock sound that sprung from the fertile imaginations of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker is no small feat. As you Dan-Fans know, the tunes are convoluted and complex, spanning many genres; very precise, with time changes and key changes popping up where sometimes least expected. Vocally and musically challenging, this is not an easy band to pay tribute to.
 
No Static has been doing it for over 10 years now and their sold-out shows tell the tale. They work at it and they get it right. Over the years they have been lucky enough to share the stage with Steely Dan band members, Walt Weiskopf (saxophonist) and Jon Herington (Music Director/guitarist).
