KAIROS
Newfound Chamber Winds
Tyler Austin, Artistic Director and Conductor
This impressive disc by the Arkansas Tech University Symphonic Wind Ensemble features two premieres: James Syler's Symphony No. 2 and Roy Magnuson's the softest breath. Under the direction of Daniel A. Belongia, Director of Bands, and recorded by Christian Amonson, engineer and producer, the Symphonic Wind Ensemble plays with heart and precision. Syler writes: "When you write this kind of symphonic music you have a mental-aural sound in mind, and this performance and recording is very much the way I imagined it."
