The Royal Australian Air Force Band will take the soul on a transformative journey with Apparitions coming to Geelong.
The 40-piece wind band will breathe life into its audience when Wesley Unity Church is filled with thoughtful and flowing tunes for a free night out for the whole family from 7.30pm on Friday, June 27.
Music director Squadron Leader Daniel Phillips said the concert would feature a program of “excellent music by a range of Australian and international composers”.
“It’s a bit of whimsical and engaging work that has some great themes and tunes while bringing in all of the different colours of the wind band,” he said.
“It’s got moments of being heavily grounded, but also other moments that are really ethereal and take you out of yourself in that transformative way that music is.
“I’m looking forward to hearing the band gearing up and really going for it… as we have an amazing group of musicians and a really excellent bunch of humans too.”
The program’s pieces will include Luminance by Shuying Li, Clarinet Concerto by John Heins featuring soloist Corporal Robert Scott and In Evening’s Stillness by Joseph Schwantner.
The audience will then be taken on a journey through White Ghost Dancing by Ross Edwards before being transported outside of the physical form during Fantastical Apparition by Ryan Fillinge.
The Air Force band is a world-class military band that looks to enhance the image and culture of the Air Force through music and ceremony.
