Symphonic Band concert
712-707-7062, lisa.koerselman@nwciowa.edu
The Symphonic Band concert is titled “Extremes!,” as shown in David Maslanka’s Symphony No. 7, a composition with movements that vary from slow to very fast. Janelle Phinney, adjunct instructor in music, will accompany the symphony on piano. Mozart’s Concerto in A major for clarinet and piano also presents a lively pace, testing the range of the clarinet by playing every possible note. Sophomore Meredith Sundberg will be the featured soloist on clarinet.
David Gillingham’s arrangement of “Be Thou My Vision” will bring listeners to a moment of reflection, pairing shimmering woodwinds and percussion with brilliant brass tones. The concert will close with Robert Jager’s “Esprit de Corps,” a tribute to veterans and those in active military service.
