For their September concert, the Jazz Dock Orchestra will perform a composition by the band's director and composer/arranger, Andy Schofield, titled "Reflections"—a suite in eight parts inspired by English poetry. Each part features a different soloist from the band. The title is drawn from William Shakespeare's description of Art as "holding a mirror up to nature," and the music explores themes from poems by Byron, W.B. Yeats, Spike Milligan, Philip Larkin, and others, with the compositions reflecting the mood, atmosphere, or rhythm of the original poems.
