University of Iowa Symphony Band Concert

The Iowa Symphony Band will present a free concert at 7:30PM on Wednesday, November 18 in the Voxman Music Building Concert Hall . This concert is a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Symphony Band Western Europe/USSR Tour. There will be a brief video presentation of highlights from the 1966 tour and the Symphony Band will perform three selections from the tour program. We look forward to welcoming back to campus almost 40 members of the 1966 Symphony Band.

Also, UI alumnus David Lang will be a featured soloist on Johan de Meij’s UFO Concerto for Euphonium and Wind Orchestra. Courtney Ridge, third year DMA student in Wind Conducting, will open the evening’s concert with James M. David’s stunning Flying Jewels, which was composed for the United States Air Force Band. The program will include selections by James M. David, Johan de Meij, John Barnes Chance, John Philip Sousa, and Dmitri Shostakovich.

We hope you will join us for this special concert!
