SYMPHONIC METAMORPHOSIS 
CCM Wind Symphony 
Kevin Michael Holzman, music director and conductor 
Featuring guest ensemble Youth Performing Arts School Wind Ensemble 
Kevin Callihan, director; Conner Kinmon, associate director 
A program in which familiar musical traditions are transformed through new voices and fresh perspectives. From Gao Hong’s vibrant Celebration, Percy Grainger’s heartfelt Colonial Song and Donald Grantham’s dance-infused J’ai été au bal to Carlos Simon’s powerful reimagining of the spiritual Sweet Chariot, each work reshapes song, dance and folk material into an original composition. The concert culminates in Paul Hindemith’s iconic Symphonic Metamorphosis, where themes by Carl Maria von Weber are transformed into Hindemith’s instantly recognizable compositional style.
