Lebanon Valley College will host its spring 2016 Wind Ensemble concert Thursday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. in Lutz Hall of the Bertha Brossman Blair Music Center.
Students have worked hard all semester to prepare for the evening, and the concert will be a balance of classic wind ensemble pieces along with some contemporary songs. Director Richard Miller, adjunct instructor in music, put together a diverse repertoire to challenge and expose the student musicians to new music styles.
The program will feature Robert Russell Bennet’s “Rose Variations for Cornet and Band,” which features a collaboration with LVC’s Dr. Christopher Campbell, adjunct instructor of music. In a different style, the concert will also highlight contemporary music, such as a transcription of John William’s score for “The Cowboys.” The well balanced ensemble of about 40 students is sure to bring each piece to life with its strong sound.
