The magnificence of wind orchestra music by modern masters fills Southminster Church as the U of L Wind Orchestra presents their semester wind-up concert on April 8, at 8 pm. The program highlights the brilliant compositions of 20th century wind orchestra composers and features guest vocalist, Dr. Sandra Stringer.
“All the composers showcased on the program are considered modern masters in our field, starting in the early and middle 20th century with Percy Grainger and then Jack Stamp and Frank Ticheli who write primarily for band, to David Maslanka and Donald Grantham, who have a widely varied portfolio including many great band works,” says Dr. Thomas Staples, U of L Wind Orchestra director.
