The New World Symphony’s 32nd season begins with a luminous spotlight on our Brass and Woodwind Fellows. Heralding the fresh start is conductor and NWS alumnus Joseph Peters, who leads exuberant fanfares for brass by Giovanni Gabrieli. Woodwinds bring a playful air to the celebration with Charles Gounod’s whimsical Petite symphonie. Brass and Percussion Fellows return to show us how to play it cool, mambo and dream of tomorrow with a vivacious suite from Leonard Bernstein’s beloved West Side Story.
