Inspired by an
enormous, mirror-like elliptical sculpture by British artist Anish
Kapoor, this festival work reflects the spirit of Chicago's busy
streets, vibrant people, and magnificent architecture. A bold opening
moves into an invigorating theme that occurs under a moving woodwind
ostinato figure. A festive mixed-meter section continues to drive the
work forward before a seamless transition into a slower bluesy
section reminiscent of George Gershwin. Students experience urban
energy once more as the final thematic statement leads to a dynamic close!
