Harberg, Amanda: Excursions

Amanda Harberg's EXCURSIONS is a dynamic and engaging sextet for wind quintet with piano, alive with rhythmic energy and vivid instrumental color. Its three movements trace a vivid musical journey, from the adventurous energy of “Venturing Forth,” through the emotional juxtapositions of “Love and Distress,” to the reflective “From Here and Back.” Equal parts spirited and expressive, EXCURSIONS offers performers a rewarding ensemble experience full of contrast, momentum, and character, highlighting Harberg’s distinctive voice as a composer of communicative, finely crafted chamber music.
