Program Notes:
For centuries, the legend of Machu Picchu sent many an explorer into the mountains of Peru. Machu Picchu - The City in the Clouds was inspired by the pictures of Bingham's expedition into the Peruvian mountains in search of the lost city. The opening glimpse of the ruins is set over a percussive backdrop and as the brass begin to enter understand the scale of the complex.
