Program Notes
Manhattan Skyline, Concerto for Saxophone and Wind Band by French composer and pianist Olivier Calmel was originally written for symphony orchestra and premiered on January 17, 2015, by the Semper Fidelis Orchestra, under Ludovic Minne, with soloist Michel Supéra, to whom the work is dedicated. Later on, Olivier Calmel created a version for wind band.
Manhattan Skyline is composed in five [sic: seven] short movements, evoking the first impressions produced by the discovery and exploration of the city of New York.
