GROVE CITY, Pa. – The Grove City College Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Concert Band will present their first concert of 2009 at 8 p.m. March 20 in Ketler Auditorium of the Pew Fine Arts Center.
The concert is under the direction of Dr. Edwin Arnold, director of bands and chairman of the Department of Music and Fine Arts. He will be assisted by Dr. Joseph Pisano ’94, associate director and associate department chairman.
The Wind Ensemble will open the program with a new composition by John O’Reilly. The selection, titled “Spirit of Flight,” was recently composed for the United States Air Force Academy Band. Another exciting work of significant study for the Wind Ensemble this semester has been “Vigil’s Keep,” a contemporary piece composed by Julie Giroux.
The Symphonic Concert Band will open its portion of the program with “Strategic Air Command March” by Clifton Williams along with a variety of other selections, including “Caccia,” an percussive work by composer Francis Mc Beth; “Dusk” by composer Steven Bryant; and several traditional marches. Pisano will conduct “Concert Celebration” by composer Claude Smith.
The concert is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.
