As a founding member of the avant garde wind quintet The City of Tomorrow, Leander Star has been at the forefront of modern horn performance and led the group into new directions of programming, producing seamless concept concerts that include lighting effects and creative movement to enhance the audience’s experience. In the 2022-2023 season, Leander designed and choreographed their show, “Waves, Breaths, and Dead Cities,” a contemplation of music and isolation during the global pandemic, premiered by Crosstown Arts in Memphis, TN with video by filmmaker Breezy Lucia and set design by Celeste Von Ahnen.
