Missouri University of Science and Technology’s arts, languages and philosophy department will present their first winter band concert this February.
The performance will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, in Leach Theatre of Castleman Hall, located at the corner of 10th and Main streets on the Missouri S&T campus. The wind symphony and symphonic band will be directed by Dr. David Samson, assistant professor of music at Missouri S&T.
The program includes music from the movie “Catch Me if You Can,” featuring saxophone soloist Reece Watson, a graduate student in computer science, and “Aesop’s Fables” with special guest narrator Bruce Wade, the voice of the Miner Marching Band.
“We are pleased, as always, to begin the music program’s concert season with the University Wind Symphony and S&T Symphonic Band,” says Samson. “The ensembles have been working extremely hard to present a variety of pieces for you to enjoy.”
