Join us for an unforgettable performance by the Symphonic Band at the Northwestern Bienen School of Music. This special concert, taking place on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at 3:00pm CDT in the prestigious Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, promises to be a highlight of the spring quarter.

Under the baton of conductor Shawn Vondran, with the talented Gail Williams on horn, the Symphonic Band will present a poignant and captivating program. The concert will feature the premiere of "Sure-fire," a new concerto by the acclaimed Australian composer Catherine Likhuta. This moving piece serves as a lament for the tragic loss of native animal life in Australia during the devastating brushfires of 2019 and 2020. The program will also include Samuel Barber’s "Medea’s Dance of Vengeance," a powerful work derived from the composer’s ballet suite, which itself is based on the ancient Greek tragedy by Euripedes.

Tickets for this must-see event are priced at $6 for the general public and $4 for students with a valid ID. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the emotional depth and musical brilliance of the Symphonic Band at Northwestern's Bienen School of Music.

Location: Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, 50 Arts Cir Dr, Evanston, IL 60208, United States. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit our website.
