The concert program is built around the world premiere of “E,” a composition for jazz combo and orchestra by Leo Yucht. This work was commissioned by Sage City Symphony as part of its mission to support new composers. For more information about Sunday’s FREE concert, visit the Bennington Banner’s website/article.
