The Wellington Wind Symphony is VERY excited to welcome our Composer-in-Residence for the season, Viet Cuong. Viet is an incredible young voice in the wind band world, and has written many wonderful pieces for the repertoire. We will be featuring three works by Viet in our programme, and he will be with us for a Q&A discussion before the concert, moderated by our Artistic Director Dr. Cynthia Johnston Turner. Described as “alluring” and “stirring” by The New York Times, the music of Vietnamese-American composer Viet Cuong has been performed on six continents by musicians and ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, Eighth Blackbird, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Sō Percussion, Alarm Will Sound, Atlanta Symphony, Sandbox Percussion, Albany Symphony, PRISM Quartet, and Dallas Winds, among many others. Cuong’s music has been featured in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center, and his works for wind ensemble have amassed several hundreds of performances worldwide. We could go on, but come see for yourselves why we are so excited about meeting him and performing his works! 📆 November 28th ⏰ 7:30 pm 📍 Knox Presbyterian Church (50 Erb St, W, Waterloo) 🎟 Tickets available at: https://wellingtonwindsymphony.ca/evergreen/
