BBNW closes our formal concert season and welcomes summer with a program of bright music including a couple of world premieres.

Jeffrey Taylor is a long time tubist with BBNW and also a composer. Our April program included his work I Come in Peace, which he wrote as offertory music for BelPres church services. Elements is in five movements, each of which explores his impressions of different element: hydrogen, helium, gold, silicon, lead, and carbon.

Our concert ends with a tribute to The Beach Boys. Rick Hudson commissioned this medley by the famous band from master-arranger, William Berry.
