Symphonic Band

Join the CU Boulder Symphonic Band for “Homage,” our final concert of the year featuring works that pay tribute to friends, teachers and influential fictional characters. This concert will stretch the boundaries of the wind band and is sure to be a meaningful experience for everyone.

Program:
“Gandalf” from Symphony No. 1 “The Lord of the Rings” (Johan de Meij)
“Nimrod” (Edward Elgar/arr. Alfred Reed)
“Spiritual” (H. Owen Reed)
Symphony No. 3 (Kimberly Archer)

Symphonic Band musicians are selected by audition from the finest performers on campus. Although most members are music majors, students studying in other fields often qualify for this ensemble. Since its formation over 50 years ago, the Symphonic Band has performed at major national conventions, including the Music Educators National Conference and the College Band Directors National Association. Concerts presented both in Colorado and out of state have won the acclaim of band directors and composers for the interpretive performance of outstanding works for the symphonic band medium.

From orchestras, bands and choirs to jazz, world music and opera to world-class faculty and guest performances, the CU Boulder College of Music brings hundreds of stunning performances to Boulder audiences throughout the academic year.
