Persichetti's Symphony for Band, originally written for the world famous Goldman Band. John Barnes Chance's provocative and rhythmic driving piece, Incantation and Dances, pit the percussion against the winds, climaxing into a wild frenzy. A march from Charles Ives, an insurance salesman by trade but an innovative composer far beyond his time, rounds out the concert. Espana Cani and a group of Russian folk dances complete this outstanding evening. The performance takes place on Tuesday, March 23 at 8 p.m. at the Lenfest Center.
Admission is free and open to the public.
