UMD Wind Orchestra Season Finale Concert • IN-PERSON

The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center

These concerts will open with a fresh perspective, an exciting overture by Jessie Montgomery, the Composer-in-Residence of the Chicago Symphony. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of musical traditions, “Overture” showcases Montgomery’s mastery in blending classical, jazz, and contemporary elements seamlessly.

Gilbertson’s Symphony No. 1

Five Flags Center

Experience an evening of stories sonically told by the UMD Wind Orchestra! Björk’s Overture to “Dancer in the Dark,” arranged by Vince Mendoza, chronicles the story of Selma Jezkova, a Czech immigrant to the United States who is going blind due to illness. Michael Gilbertson’s Lands End takes listeners to the windy, wooded cliffs of Lands End overlook, a shoreline in San Francisco peppered with shipwrecks and ruins, while Michael Daugherty recalls the life and legacy of an American track and field hero in The Adventures of Jesse Owens.
