RevElations

Join the West Coast Wind Symphony for its inaugural concert, “RevElations,” an immersive musical journey that launches on Valentine’s Day in Redondo Beach. Newly rebranded from the South Bay Wind Ensemble, the West Coast Wind Symphony aims to become California’s premiere wind band, and their first outing promises a dazzling blend of prophecy, romance, and contemporary vitality. “RevElations” explores ethereal visions from the Book of Revelations alongside the passionate sights of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, weaving a narrative that uplifts and captivates. The program features living American composers redefining classical music, including David Gillingham’s 20th‑century symphony “Apocalyptic Dreams” and Omar Thomas’s jubilant anthem “Come Sunday.” Audiences will also experience two masterful treatments of Shakespeare’s tragedy: the Russian masterpieces of Nikolai Rimsky‑Korsakov and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, alongside a celebratory rendition of Prokofiev’s “Romeo & Juliet,” arranged by Johan de Meij. The evening culminates with music from Elmer Bernstein’s iconic score for *The Ten Commandments*, arranged by Erick Debs, and the soaring “Angels in the Architecture” by Frank Ticheli. Tickets to this not‑miss‑to‑miss event include priority seating, a pre‑concert lecture, and a special thank‑you from Music Director Steven Allen Fox for VIP patrons. Experience the power of wind‑band art at its finest, and let “RevElations” carry you through awe‑filled revelations and timeless love. Your seat awaits.
