With Michelle Stanley, Flute

The Symphonic Band, conducted by T. André Feagin, presents its third concert of the academic year with a program titled “History.” Using American history, patriotism, opera, an ancient Greek poem, and a French satire by Voltaire as sources of musical inspiration, the program promises to awaken the senses while reflecting back through time. The ensemble performs the works of Alfred Reed, Frank Ticheli, John Mackey, John Phillip Sousa, and Leonard Bernstein. CSU flute professor Michelle Stanley joins the ensemble in a performance of John Williams’ Theme from Schindler’s List and the program culminates in a musical tribute to Black History Month with a stirring performance of Omar Thomas’ Of Our New Day Begun.
