Fall Concert: FLIGHT - Takes off Saturday!
The Justin-Siena Siena Visual and performing Arts Department is proud to present their fall instrumental concert: Flight.
Join us for an All Instrumental Concert featuring music by Earth Wind and Fire, Daft Punk, Sam Cooke, Django Reinhardt and many more.
According to Director and Justin-Siena alumnus Graham Terry ‘04, "Much time did I spend researching every definition of the word ‘ light,' perhaps too much time. There is the ever-obvious definition, “the act of flying;” a definition I could use to metaphorically describe the show before you. “Picture yourself on a time travelling hot air balloon. Its first stop is in 1964 when Nina Simone released Feeling Good.” My original intention, however, was to use this word the same way restaurants are using it: a dessert flight, a soup flight, a wine flight, etc. This particular use of the word has yet to make into the standard dictionaries, but that shouldn’t stop any kind of artist from getting a little creative."
This Saturday, we are serving up musical flights: groupings of pieces from the following styles and eras: Big Band, the Civil Rights Movement, Gypsy Jazz, Irish Traditional, Funk, and Disco. We hope you will all enjoy this 6-course musical meal in, of course, Justin Siena’s Dining Hall.
