Tuesday, March 27
Concordia Wind Ensemble
8 p.m. at the Black Box Theatre
An auditioned group of wind and percussion players, the Concordia Wind Ensemble is directed by Dr. William Perrine. This concert will be a preview of the ensemble’s program at the prestigious Chicago International Music Festival on Easter Sunday, April 1.
"There’s a tremendous amount of literature that exists to celebrate Christmas but very little band music written for Easter," Perrine said in a press release. "Add to that the fact that bands -- in their contemporary form -- have only been around for about 100 years. Because of that, band directors tend to be very engaged in the process of getting new music."
The musicians will be performing pieces commissioned for both this concert and for Concordia University honoring the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
