The virtuosity and expressive range of the United States Coast Guard Band is on display in SEA CHANGE with six works by composer Stephen Michael Gryč, performed under conductor Adam Williamson. Three are original compositions: Riding the Crest, commissioned for the band’s centenary; Guignol – Concerto for Bassoon, a satirical concerto featuring bassoonist Brooke McEwan; and Spring Rain, a tone poem for harp and winds with harpist Megan Sesma. The program also includes Six Romances after Mendelssohn and Gryč’s orchestrations of works by Debussy and Rossini. Together, these works reflect what Gryč calls a “sea change” in the wind band repertoire, encompassing both new works and bold transformations of existing ones.
