The Penn Flutes fall program, "Renewal", features works depicting varying facets of transformation: Jonathan Cohen’s “Blueshift Red” explores the bending of light and color that occurs when astral bodies approach each other with great speed; Maurice Ravel’s beloved “Bolero” illustrates the ensemble’s ability to create evolving phases of color and texture through just two contrasting themes; “Autumn Vespers” and “Cloud Images” paint sound images of seasonal changes on the ground and in the sky. Some seasonal musical treats will bring the audience into the fall season. 

Free and open to the public.
