The 麻豆视频 Concert Band will perform on Friday, March 28, at 7 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The program, 鈥淪ongs of Rust, Rest, and Renewal,鈥� will create an evening of music that reflects a journey of faith as it endures the 鈥渇iercest droughts and storms鈥� of a fallen world. From the rolling heights of the Appalachian Mountains to the smoke-scarred plains of the Civil War, themes of collapse, restoration and redemption run through the repertoire.
The evening will feature two special guests. Joshua Linde (banjo), who teaches and studies at the Michigan Academy of Folk Music, will bring the worlds of wind bands and bluegrass together. Narrator Dr. Fred Johnson III, who is the Guy Vander Jagt 鈥�53 Professor of History at Hope, will enrich the meaning of the music through the power of Abraham Lincoln鈥檚 speeches.
The Concert Band is under the direction of Dr. Anand Raj Sukumaran, who is an assistant professor of music and director of bands at Hope and teaches courses in secondary-level instrumental music methods and administration, brass and woodwind techniques, folk guitar and world music.
