| The New World School of the Arts High School Wind Ensemble will present a Pops Concert featuring the music of Heroes, Princesses, and Villains from Disney. Among the selections to be performed is Touch the Sky from Brave, How Far I’ll Go from Moana, Friend Like Me from Aladdin, Love is an Open Doorfrom Frozen, You’ll Be In My Heart from Tarzan, I See the Light from Tangled, Go the Distance from Hercules, and other titles from Mulan, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lion King and Princess and the Frog.
“As the first performance of the year, emphasis on time management and accountability for the music and the ensemble is exposed from the onset of the school year,” explained Brent Mounger, NWSA Wind Ensemble Director. “The repertoire, concurrently rehearsed individually and as an ensemble, is accessible and serves as a tool to stabilize ensemble expectations throughout the year. While many of the melodies may be recognizable, a lot of the magic comes from the inner parts that support and bring out the character of the rest of the score.”
The concert will undoubtedly offer an evening of musical fantasy and magic for audiences of all ages. |
