The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Wind Ensemble will present a fall concert Friday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
Dr. R. Tad Greig, director of bands at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, will conduct the concert with the help of Cyndi Mancini, a senior music education major from McKees Rocks. She was selected through the "Young Conductors Competition," which requires candidates to have completed beginning conduction and instrumental conducting courses before they prepare and conduct multiple musical scores for the competition.
The Wind Ensemble will provide a diverse program of outstanding Wind literature including: Charles Rochester Young's "The Tempered Steel;" Philip Sparke's "Music for a Festival;" Girolamo Frescobaldi's "Toccata;" the "Finale" from Symphony 1 in G Minor by Basil Kalinnikov, and more.
The Wind Ensemble is a select ensemble, chosen through audition, that performs the most challenging in new and established literature.
"The program is quite challenging, both technically and musically," Greig said. "The students must convey styles and sounds related to orchestral playing through the modern harmonies and rhythmic asymmetry present in the more contemporary pieces."
The event is free and open to the public. Contact Greig at (724) 946-7279 or e-mail greigrt@westminster.edu for more information.
