Take flight with the University of South Carolina University Bands as we present “Winged,” an afternoon of music inspired by the wonder of the skies. “Winged” explores humanity's enduring fascination with the world above us, from soaring birds and graceful butterflies to powerful dragons, boundless horizons, and the thrill of flight. Through sweeping melodies, exhilarating rhythms and cinematic soundscapes, this program invites audiences on a musical journey filled with adventure, imagination, and discovery. Whether inspired by nature, the spirit of exploration, or the unforgettable heroes and legends that have taken to the skies on the silver screen, each work celebrates the freedom, beauty and excitement of taking wing.
