Central’s Symphonic Wind Ensemble and College-Community Band will perform as part of the Sunday Concert Series Dec. 4 at 4 p.m. in Douwstra Auditorium.
The ensembles will perform a salute to American composers, including works by Leonard Bernstein, Frank Ticheli and John Zdechlik and the notable “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. The latter features guest pianist and assistant professor of music Paul Kovacovic. A pianist since he was 6 years old, Kovacovic works to reveal the relationship music has with other disciplines.
As part of the concert, senior music majors Emily Miner and Chrystal Von Ahsen (Belz) will each conduct their peers in a musical selection.
Mitchell Lutch, assistant professor of music and director of bands, will direct both ensembles.
The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Debbie Abel at 641-628-5236 or abeld@central.edu.
