Symphonic Band
Friday, February 10, 2023 at 7:30pm
Pick-Staiger Concert Hall
Shawn Vondran, conductor; Schyler Adkins, doctoral assistant conductor
The Symphonic Band’s first concert of the winter brings together multiple art forms, beginning with a celebration of dance. Rob Smith’s jazz- and pop-influenced Dance Mix is followed by Philip Sparke’s Dance Movements. Originally written for the United States Air Force Band, the work takes its cues from Latin American music, rustic English dance tunes, ballet, and the music of Leonard Bernstein. Closing the concert is Paul Dooley’s Yellow Red Blue, inspired by the paintings of Gerhard Richter.
