With the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord approaching, the Fall Concert by the Concord Band will feature Chester, Overture for Band by William Schuman, based on Boston composer William Billings’ best known song that became a Revolutionary War patriotic anthem.
Maestro James O’Dell rounds out the concert's theme, New England Portraits, with compositions drawing inspirations from New England. The program includes music depicting Maine's Acadia National Park (Boysen); Beachscapes of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts (Cichy); a quintessential small town fair (Ives); Concord’s own North Bridge (Bulla); and real or imagined characters of New England (Curnow).
The performance will be Saturday October 21, 2023, at 8:00 pm at 51 Walden Performing Arts Center in Concord, Massachusetts. Admission is free, with a donation of $20 per person requested. The Concord Band is sponsored in part by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. More information is available on the Band’s website www.concordband.org.
