Celebrating the American spirit and heritage on Veterans Day weekend, the band will premiere Thomas Root’s Hovenweep with native flutist Jessica Peterson and feature Frank Ticheli’s Simple Gifts: Four Shaker Songs. Underscoring the concert theme will be Robert Bennett’s classic Symphonic Songs for Band and a musical salute to America’s veterans.
The Bayfield American Legion Post 143 will perform a color guard at the beginning of the concert, and there will be video oral histories of local veterans playing in the lobby throughout the event.
Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. The concert is coordinated in partnership with Pine River Arts, a local nonprofit devoted to supporting and promoting arts and culture in the Pine River Valley.
