BYU School of Music continues free concerts April 4-7

Brigham Young University's School of Music will present five free concerts Tuesday through Friday, April 4-7, at locations throughout campus.

  • The Honors Woodwind Quintet will perform pieces by Poulenc and Ligeti among other composers Tuesday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Karl G. Maeser Building auditorium. The quintet is composed of Julia Anderson on the oboe, Lucy Hall on the horn, Susan Croft on the clarinet, Alicia Christiansen on the flute and Amie Reynolds on the bassoon, joined by Amalie Wickes on the piano.

  • The University Band will perform Tuesday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the de Jong Concert Hall. The band will be directed by Fred McInnis and graduate student Bryant Smith.

They will also perform the Symphony No. 1, “In Memoriam Dresden 1945,” by David Bukvich, depicting a fire bombing in Dresden, Germany during WWII. In contrast to the intensity of the war piece, the band will play the final movement from Maurice Revel’s “Mother Goose Suite,” depicting eternity.

Selections will include arrangements of the “Finale” from Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro” and Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto.”
