Hauntings is a program that explores the mysterious, creepy, and spiritual. The centerpiece of the program is Stephen McNeff's Ghosts – a nine-movement composition telling the tales of supernatural spirits. Jason Gilliam, euphonium, will be the featured soloist on The Devil's Tongue. Other featured composers include Hector Berlioz, Eric Whitacre, Nancy Galbraith, and Dmitri Shostakovich.
