Andrews Wind Symphony Winter Concert: "Diversions"

EVENT CANCELLED. We regret to inform you that the concert "Diversions" by the AU Wind Symphony on Saturday night, February 2, 2019, has been cancelled due to rehearsal cancellations caused by the extreme weather.  We will, however, be featuring some of the planned repertoire in future concerts.

_____________________________________________

Come join us for the Wind Symphony Winter Concert, featuring our annual partnership with Dr. Jonathan Korzun and the Southwestern Michigan College Brass Band. The program is entitled “Diversions” and will feature two new works commissioned by our group: the first is "Fighters of Fate," composed by La Sierra University composition professor Gary Kuo, followed by "Diversions," a five-movement clarinet solo with wind band composed by Robert Spittal, featuring our adjunct professor of clarinet, Jason Gresl. We will also feature two graduate conductors: Edgar Luna conducting Tchaikovsky’s "Dance of the Jesters," and Katia Nikolaus conducting H. Robert Reynolds transcription of Morten Lauridsen’s gorgeous choral piece "Contre Qui, Rose." The program will finish with two classics, Percy Grainger’s delightful "Children’s March" and Leonard Bernstein’s mischievous overture "Slava!"
