Join UMWO in challenging conventional wind ensemble sound with inventive instrumentation, subject matter and use of multimedia. Garden images accompany Dove’s Figures in the Garden, while Lang’s Cheating, Lying and Stealing includes video clips from the eponymous Guitar Hero game available on Garage Band.
