SUU’s WIND SYMPHONY PRESENTS

FALL CELEBRATION CONCERT

NOVEMBER 5, 2013




Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: Join Southern Utah University’s Wind Symphony in ushering in the changing seasons with their Fall Celebration Concert. Much like the varied weather in Cedar City’s fall season, this program features an eclectic range of classical and contemporary tunes carefully selected by Conductor Dr. Adam Lambert. Scheduled for Tuesday, November 5th, this Wind Symphony performance, a Music Masterworks Series event, begins at 7:30pm at Cedar City’s Heritage Center Theater. The public is encouraged to attend this special performance. Tickets are $10 for Adults, $8 for SUU faculty/staff, and $5 for youth. SUU students are free with a valid I.D. card.



The Fall Celebration Concert features a dynamic span of selections from both classical repertory and the contemporary canon: “Joy” by Joseph Curiale, "Exultaté" by Samuel R. Hazo, and “Festive Overture” by Dmitri Shostakovich, John Philip Sousa’s “Liberty Bell” March, “Auf stillem Waldespfad” by Richard Strauss, and John Mackey’s “Hymn to a Blue Hour.” Trumpet soloist and outgoing senior student Trevor Walker will be featured on “Trumpeter’s Lullaby” by Leroy Anderson.

The SUU Wind Symphony is an auditioned ensemble made up of the top wind and percussion students at SUU. The ensemble is committed to the performance of the highest quality contemporary and traditional works in the wind band repertoire.
