Northwestern Bands to Perform 'The Winds of Spring' Concert April 24

The Northwestern Oklahoma State University Jazz Ensemble, Symphony Band and Community Band will present their spring band concert “The Winds of Spring” on Tuesday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in Herod Hall auditorium.

 

The Northwestern Oklahoma State University Jazz Ensemble, Symphony Band and Community Band will present their spring band concert “The Winds of Spring” on Tuesday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in Herod Hall auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.

The Jazz Ensemble will perform music pieces such as “The Jazz Police” by Gordon Goodwin and “Hallelujah, I Love Her So” by Ray Charles, which will feature vocal music major Katelyn Cutsinger, Vici senior, as a vocalist.

The Community Band will perform music pieces such as “Fandango for Mallet Percussion and Band” by former Northwestern band director Oscar Stover, which will be directed by music education major Amanda Metcalf, Enid senior; and “Pandora” by Randall Standridge, which will be directed by music education major Autumn Detamore, El Reno junior. This group also will perform “Arabian Dances” by Roland Barrett and “Cumberland Cross” by Carl Strommen.

The Community Band is comprised of Northwestern students and 15 community members. The band members have met for four Tuesday evening rehearsals throughout the semester to prepare for the concert.

This program promotes involvement with both the community and the band students and is open to anyone in the community who can play an instrument including college students not currently enrolled in band.

The Symphony Band will perform “In the Forest of the King” by Pierre La Plante and “A Galop to End All Galops” by Warren Baker.

“This is going to be an exciting concert for the many students, community members, and guest conductors in the ensembles,” Dr. Marc Decker, assistant professor of music and director of instrumental music and music education, said. “The varied repertoire is easy to enjoy for all ages.”

For more information about the band program at Northwestern or the Community Band program, contact Decker at (580) 327-8521 or email mddecker@nwosu.edu.
