Pick-Staiger Concert Hall
Shawn Vondran, conductor
The Symphonic Band’s performance opens with Jennifer Jolley’s Lichtweg (Lightway), inspired by a neon light installation at the Munich Airport, followed by Frank Ticheli’s An American Elegy, written in memory of the lives lost at Columbine High School in 1999. The first half of the concert concludes with a staple of the wind band repertoire, Gustav Holst’s First Suite in E-flat. The program continues with Joaquín Turina’s colorful Five Miniatures and comes to a close with Ryan George’s Riff Raff, a musical homage to the “urban rebel” figure so prominent in mid-century American pop culture.
