The March 27th concert will feature a wide variety of music from classical to light popular to sophisticated jazz, with symphonic band standards performed by the Wind Ensemble and toe-tappin’ jazz favorites by Mainstream. This event is a part of a 9-day tour that takes these ensembles throughout the New Mexico and Arizona.
According to Professor Mark Dorn, director of the bands, this tour showcases the entire instrumental music department as well as some of CCU’s finest jazz students. “This concert represents the culmination of nearly 2 semesters of rehearsing, performing, and touring for our band and jazz students. Our ensembles are at their best, and we try to provide a widely varied, highly enjoyable performance for our audiences. There should be something for everyone. This is also a great opportunity for parents and prospective students to get better acquainted with CCU and our music program.”
