| Title: | McNeese State University Band Concert | |
| Date: | Saturday April 26, 2008 | |
| Time: | 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm | |
| Location: | Bulber Auditorium McNeese Campus | |
| Notes: | At 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 26, Waybright, director of bands at UF, will have the unique opportunity to conduct the McNeese Wind Symphony in a performance of "The Last Voluntary" during a free performance in McNeese's F.G. Bulber Auditorium. Direction of the piece will be particularly poignant because it will also be performed as a tribute to Gates, who died of pancreatic cancer in May 2007. The McNeese Wind Symphony will also perform other 20th century works, including "Tempered Steel" by Charles Rochester Young, "Pageant" by Vincent Persichetti, "The Promise of Living" by Aaron Copland, "Folk Dances" by Dmitri Shostakovich and two energetic works by University of Florida composition professors Paul Basler and Paul Richards. The Wind Symphony will include area high school musicians and music educators as part of the McNeese Clarinet Ensemble, under the direction of McNeese professor Jan Scott. | |
