Symphonic Band tour to the Pacific Northwest
TOURING CONCERT
As they tour the Pacific Northwest, Northwestern's Symphonic Band will perform eight musical pieces. Among them is “Sanctuary,” by Frank Ticheli, a composition that musically expresses rest, solitude and protection. “Exultate,” by Samuel Hazo, is an energetic piece that is a technical showcase for the band, says conductor Dr. Timothy McGarvey, professor of music at the college.
The concert will conclude with “The Red Machine” by Peter Graham. The piece was written for a London-based regimental band called the Cold Stream Guard, the official band for the changing of the royal guard. Listeners will hear strains of “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.”
The 53-member Symphonic Band has performed across the U.S. and in Central and South America. During their 10-day tour, the musicians will also perform community service in Seattle.
