CU Boulder Wind Symphony
Veterans Day Concert: United States 250, Colorado 150, CU Boulder 150
The CU Boulder Wind Symphony presents a Veterans Day concert featuring members of the United States Air Force Academy Band and the 101st Army Band. We welcome guest conductor Lieutenant Colonel Michael Hoerber, our own saxophone soloist Nathan Mertens, and guest composers Anthony Green and Benjamin Horne. You’ll want to be in Macky Auditorium to enjoy this experience!
The Wind Symphony is comprised of the College of Music’s most outstanding wind, brass and percussion students. Founded in 1978, the group is committed to performing the finest wind repertoire, regardless of era or ensemble size—ranging from recently performed works by Ida Gotkovsky and the college’s own Carter Pann to additional diverse works by Carlos Simon, Omar Thomas, Joan Tower and Xi Wang. The Wind Symphony also values the importance of collaboration by working with various faculty and guest artists. Performances on campus and across Colorado, as well as at conferences and abroad, have earned the ensemble international acclaim.
This performance includes special lighting elements.
