The B- Magic Orchestra contains a variety of colors (strings, winds, brass) that allow director Bill Banfield to weave the concert experience together as one might hear a chamber-like jazz ensemble that swings. It is more a collective of instruments and players, independent colors that match, melt, rub, blend shift and shimmer. The ensemble is a sharing environment and the process of caress, subtle shaping, reach, and experiment is equally as important as “nailing it”.
The B- Magic Orchestra consists of the following members.
Director: William Banfield Nathan Norman, drums Pete Whitman, saxophones Jeff Rinear, trombone Dave Jensen, trumpet Douglas Ewart, winds/percussion Pam Ridgeway, piano Rose Rinder, flute Carolyn Boulay, violin |
