SUMMARY:Orion Concerto performance at Troy University\, Alabama
DESCRIPTION:The Orion Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony is performed by the Troy University Symphony Band with soloists Jillian Camwell\, oboe and Kristina Nelson\, Bassoon.  This work is part of   the Southeastern United States Honor Bands & Clinics weekend at Troy University in Alabama. \nWhen: Friday\, February 6\, 2026\nWhere: Crosby Theatre\, Troy University\, Alabama\nTime: 7pm CST \nMore about The Orion Concerto \nThis piece tells the story of our Galaxy\, of the great unknown and what lies beyond\, and where we belong within this vastness of space.  The soloists and the ensemble paint a picture of this great mystery of the universe\, taking us on a journey through the Spiral Galaxy and the Milky Way.  Being pulled toward the Supermassive Black hole\, the djembe lends a rhythmic background of mystery to this journey.  We then travel to the place where stars are born in “The Orion Nebula\,” quoting Carl Sagen from his book Cosmos that\, “we are made of star-stuff.”  Finally\, we begin to leave the orion nebula to continue our journey again through the spiral galaxy\, exploring the vastness of space as thematic material returns to carry us on this ever-continuing journey of exploration. \nOriginally premiered as Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony\, the Orion Concerto is a shortened version of this work.  It was arranged at the request of Jonathan Hinkle\, Director of Bands at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction\, Colorado for performance during the Colorado Music Educators Association conference in January 2023. The original version Double Concerto was written for Scott Pool – bassoon\, and it was an honor to have him and Rogene Russell on oboe premiere it at the University of Texas at Arlington Wind Symphony under the direction of Doug Stotter in February 2013.  The European premiere of this work was given by the Banda Simfònica Municipal de Madrid under the direction of Rafael Sanz–Espert with Víctor M. Ánchel\, oboe and Enrique Abargues\, bassoon. \nThis work is in one movement with several sections: \nThe Spiral Galaxy\nTravelling through the Milky Way\nSupermassive Black Hole: Falling into the abyss…\nThe Orion Nebula: “We are made of star-stuff.”\n…Flying through the Spiral Galaxy \nDuration approximately 8:15
