The 120-member Concert Band, conducted by Erik Johnson, performs music inspired by a multitude of Latin cultures. Infectious rhythms, haunting melodies, and lively marches will be on full display as we celebrate the rich cultures of Central and South America. “The band is a lively group that always astounds me with their commitment to keeping the arts alive and present in their lives regardless of their professional pursuits,” describs Johnson.
