Program Notes

In 1997, NASA launched the Cassini orbiter on an exploratory mission to Saturn. Inspired by this event, Montana composer Kirby launched this very successful effort to capture the sights and sounds of this mission in music. Let your band and audience enjoy this celebration of one of mankind’s great scientific achievements!
