The Lake Oswego Millennium Band Presents "Take Flight and Soar" at Lakeridge HS on Dec 8 at 3:00PM
Who hasn’t dreamed of flying? Defying gravity and soaring through the air over mountains, valleys, oceans, and deserts. The inspiration for the title and theme come from one of the pieces on the concert: "Soaring Over High and Low Country," which is a musical panorama of where the audience is “flying” over the beautiful and geographical scenery of the Carolinas.
Other vistas the audience will musically “soar” over are the vast and vibrant oceans in "Tempest of the Ocean", the flight of heroic women, children, and elderly as they fled Ukraine during the beginning of the war in 2022 in "Flight to Freedom", the fast-paced and vivid brightness of Broadway in "Bright Lights", Brighton Beach, England during World War II in "Brighton Beach March", and a lively sleigh ride through a snowy wintery wonderland in "Winterscape".
We will also look in on some long ago and far away villages as we listen to "Armenian Folk Dances", an "English Folksong Suite", and the "Roaring Twenties". And our instrument feature will be the flute section in a lively Latin party called "Fiesta for Flutes".
There will be something for everyone and every musical taste; even a little holiday cheer. There is no admission for the concert, but we graciously accept donations to reduce our costs.
