Saturday, May 4: Join the Dordt University Music Department at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 in the B.J. Haan Auditorium for a concert by the Chamber Orchestra and Campus-Community Band. The Campus-Community Band will open with works from a diverse cross section of old and new wind band works. The Chamber Orchestra will then perform one of the most highly respected works from American composer Aaron Copland titled Appalachian Spring. Following this concert, the Wind Symphony will present their Iowa Bandmasters Association Preview Concert at 8:30 p.m. in the B.J. Haan Auditorium. This year, the Dordt University Wind Symphony was selected by blind peer review to perform as the invited college wind band for the 2024 conference. This evening’s concert will be all of the music they will perform on May 11 in Des Moines, to include a featured solo by Professor Pam De Haan on James Stephenson’s newly written Concerto for Saxophone and Wind Ensemble. We hope you can join us for both of these concerts to celebrate the achievements of all of the students participating in instrumental music at Dordt! The concerts will also be available on livestream at https://www.dordt.edu/live-events.
