MSU Wind Symphony, featuring Boston Brass

Michigan State University’s Wind Symphony will open its season with a concert 7:30 p.m. Thursday (Sept. 26) at the Wharton Center’s Cobb Great Hall. The symphony will be joined by guest quintet Boston Brass, known internationally for its vibrant stage presence and its blend of classical, jazz and popular music.

The varied program will include the overture from the film “Dancer in the Dark,” by Björk; “Downey Overture,” by Óscar Navarro; “L.A.tudes,” by Jules Pegram; “Perplexing Times,” by Gordon Goodwin; “Summertime,” by George Gershwin; and “Malagueña,” by Ernesto Lecuona.

“This concert promises to be an unforgettable event for both students and audience members,” said Kevin Sedatole, MSU’s director of bands. “It will highlight the artistry and energy of Boston Brass alongside the dynamic range of our Wind Symphony. Our students are thrilled to work with these musicians, and we believe our patrons will be delighted with this concert.”
