JMU Wind Symphony Concert - 10/5/16

9/28/2016

0 Comments

 
The JMU Wind Symphony will present a concert next Wednesday, October 5th at 8:00 p.m. in the Forbes Center Concert Hall.  The concert program is:
 
Oberon Overture – Weber/Lake
Symphony IV: Bookmarks from Japan – Julie Giroux
Ecstatic Waters – Steven Bryant
Cartoon – Paul Hart

 
Julie Giroux’s symphony is a 2013 six-movement work that is a wonderful addition to the wind band repertoire.  If you aren’t familiar with the piece the composer has a very informative page on her website at: http://juliegiroux.www2.50megs.com/bookmarks.html.   Steven Bryant’s Ecstatic Waters is a 2008 work that has quickly become a staple in the repertoire.  You can learn more about this piece at:  http://www.stevenbryant.com/music/catalog/ecstatic-waters-wind-ensemble-electronics.
 
We hope you can join us for the concert.  For ticket information, please visit the JMU Forbes Center website at: http://www.jmu.edu/forbescenter/events/2016/10/05-wind-symphony.shtml.  I am also interested in knowing about your concerts and events, so I encourage you to add me to any of your publicity lists.
 
If you would like to learn more about the Wind Symphony or listen to selected recordings from recent concerts, I encourage you to visit the Wind Symphony’s website at:  http://www.jmu.edu/music/areas/ensemble-pages/band.shtml

Sincerely,
Steve
