Shades of Blue
Portland Gay Symphonic Band in Concert
Reed College, Kaul Auditorium
The word blue is used in the English language to refer to a color, emotion, style of music and even political affiliation. While the connection to ‘blues’ with music is obvious, the imagination often lends itself to seeing certain colors while listening to music. Shades of Blue will attempt to interpret the many ways that blue is involved in the human experience. Including music by Tchaikovsky, Whitacre, Ticheli, and Saint Saëns; Please join the Portland Gay Symphonic Band as we explore the many Shades of Blue.
