The JMU Wind Symphony will present a concert next Wednesday, October 5th at 8:00 p.m. in the Forbes Center Concert Hall. The concert program is:
Oberon Overture – Weber/Lake Symphony IV: Bookmarks from Japan – Julie Giroux Ecstatic Waters – Steven Bryant Cartoon – Paul Hart Julie Giroux’s symphony is a 2013 six-movement work that is a wonderful addition to the wind band repertoire. If you aren’t familiar with the piece the composer has a very informative page on her website at: http://juliegiroux.www2.50megs.com/bookmarks.html. Steven Bryant’s Ecstatic Waters is a 2008 work that has quickly become a staple in the repertoire. You can learn more about this piece at: http://www.stevenbryant.com/music/catalog/ecstatic-waters-wind-ensemble-electronics. We hope you can join us for the concert.
