The Orchestra presents a multimedia spectacular showcasing the glorious majesty and power of Niagara Falls, along with musical works inspired by the natural world
Celebrating the imminence of Earth Day, the Lone Star Wind Orchestra (LSWO) presents This Beautiful Earth. Under the baton of LSWO music director Eugene Migliaro Corporon, the multimedia experience celebrates the breathtaking glory and ferocity of Niagara Falls alongside a collection of musical works inspired by the mysteries and magnificence of the natural environment.
The concert, which falls during Dallas Arts Month, takes place Sunday, April 6, at 3 p.m. at Moody Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District (2520 Flora St., 75201).
Headlining the concert is Niagara Falls, written by multiple Grammy Award-winning composer Michael Daughtery, a graduate of the University of North Texas and former jazz pianist with the One O’Clock Lab Band. The stunning piece brings the majesty of Niagara Falls – often called “the 8th wonder of the world” – to life with vibrant visuals that dance across the auditorium’s wide screens in perfect harmony and in sync with the music.
The audience also journeys through landscapes around the world with Sunrise at Angel’s Gate by Philip Sparke. Jungla by Ferrer Ferran delivers bold, melodic tunes reminiscence of a Broadway musical. The afternoon also includes Deciduous by Vietnamese American composer Viet Cuong and Fallingwater at Twilight by James David.
