The director of the Civic Concert Band is ISU Director of Jazz Studies Erin Armstrong, and the Symphonic Band is directed by ISU Director of Bands Patrick Brooks.

The Symphonic Band will perform a number of important works for band including the 鈥淪econd Suite in F for Military Band鈥� by the English composer Gustav Holst and 鈥淰ariants on A Medieval Tune鈥� by Norman Dello Joio. They will also perform Ludwig van Beethoven鈥檚 鈥淓gmont Overture鈥� in a transcription for band.

鈥淚n the past, bands have typically not performed music by Beethoven, mostly because Beethoven didn鈥檛 write music for concert bands as we know them today, and because the orchestral works he did write are difficult for bands to play,鈥� Brooks said. 鈥淏ut that Beethoven is one of the most important and universally accessible composers in the history of music, I thought the opportunity to expose our students to his music was important.鈥�

The Symphonic Band will also perform the beautiful 鈥淪heltering Sky鈥� and 鈥淪trange Humors,鈥� both works of the contemporary American composer John Mackey.

The Civic Concert Band will perform  鈥淧ageant鈥� by Vincent Persichetti, and 鈥淐horale and Alleluia鈥� by Howard Hanson. Persichetti and Hanson were both important and influential American composers of the mid-20th century, and friends as well. The band will also perform 鈥淏elle Qui Tiens Ma Vie,鈥� 鈥淭he Irish Minstrel Boy鈥� and the 13^th-century plainsong 鈥淒ivinum Mysterium.鈥�

Admission to the concert is $8 for adults, $6 for ISU faculty and staff, $4 for pre-college students. All ISU students are admitted at no cost with their student ID.
