Michael Haithcock, conductor, H. Robert Reynolds, guest conductor, Stephen Meyer, graduate conductor.

Pre-concert conversation with H. Robert Reynolds, William Bolcom, and Michael Haithcock at 7:15PM in the lower lobby.
Melodies, dances, and musical structures of long ago are re-purposed in these compositions from a variety of creative minds. Dance tunes from ancient Spain, the imaginative use of American folk and popular idioms, and the genius of our own William Bolcom provide a framework to showcase the extraordinary talent of these student musicians.

PROGRAM: Roberto Sierra- Fandangos; Jules Massenet- “Ballet Music” from Le Cid; Aaron Copland- Emblems; Larry Tuttle- Across the Divide; William Bolcom- First Symphony for Band
