V is for… Velocity!
We kick off our show with a bang as Vaclav Nelhybel’s Symphonic Movement mixes with Niagara Falls by Michael Daughtery to deliver an energy-filled opening statement. Here, the brass sections argue and squabble as they both compete for supremacy and their own moment in the spotlight.
V is for… Versus!
Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 3 serves as the basis for the next section where a greater threat descends on our scrappy siblings. The bombastic energy turns into percussive thunder and in time a frantic new reality takes hold. As the family faces its moment of challenge, their infighting becomes their downfall.
V is for… Voice!
As the solemn gravity of what they’ve seen settles in, the family must learn to come together. Eric Whitacre's Water Night encapsulates this somber moment in the show.
V is for… Vengeance!
There is only one way for this story to end. A final battle set to the music of Medea’s Dance of Vengeance by Samuel Barber where the united family clashes with the invading threat once again with the fate of the future in the balance. Whether the story ends in Victory or Vanquishment, nothing will ever be the same.
V is the symbol for two forces colliding, and in 2018, V is for Virtual DBC.
