Description
When first approached to write a work for the Metropolitan Wind Symphony (Boston), American composer Greg Sanders tried to find out what unique qualities and characteristics were present in the makeup of the MWS organization. In his search he found a group of dedicated and sincere musical talents. A promotional video about the MWS musical activities was sent to him in the early stages of the composition process. The video showed an energetic and eclectic group made up of performers of differing professions and backgrounds that travel from all points once a week to do one thing only: make music. It is to this group of dedicated musicians and their conductor David Martins that MeTro! is dedicated. The Boston Public Transportation system, or T, as it is known, plays an integral part in most Bostonians’ lives. MeTro! captures musically the energy and often sheer frenzy of living and working in a major metropolitan area.
