Part music theater, part carnival attraction, Spellcaster is a work for wind ensemble and actor that guides the audience through a lesson in magic-making. The players act as musical apprentices, performing the sorcerer Picatrix’s spells and assisting in his demonstrations. Listen closely and you too may obtain these mystical powers!
