The University Symphonic Band, under the direction of Dr. Patrick Dunnigan, will present their first concert of the 2017-2018 season on Monday, October 9, 2017, at 7:30 PM in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall.
This performance will feature pieces of music written for the wind band including Julius Fucik's Florentiner March, and Gordon Jacob's An Original Suite, both of which are considered standards in the wind band repertoire and will be recognized by many audience members. Roger Zare's Lift Off and Andrew Boss's Tetelestai Symphony are contemporary works for wind band. Tetelestai, which will end the program, is considered one of the newest great works for wind band. It expresses the composer's reaction to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Throughout the work, Boss depicts the battle between dark versus light, evil verses virtue, and joy versus sorrow.
