Alberta Winds Presents: WINE-DARK SEA

Conductor GARETH JONES and the players of ALBERTA WINDS return to the stage for an evening of dramatic music that harnesses sound to evoke vivid images and emotions.

Wine-Dark Sea is a monumental, melodic full symphony inspired by one of humanity’s grandest myths, the story of Odysseus. Acclaimed as the hero who devised the plan to end 10 years of war, Odysseus sets sail for home—only to face a voyage more perilous than he could imagine. 

American composer JOHN MACKEY tells this tale in thrilling cinematic style, driving the ensemble to its limits in this rare chance to hear a true masterwork for wind ensemble.
