Kevin Day's Harp Concertino was commissioned by a consortium led by the United States Coast Guard Band, and the Ball State Wind Ensemble is proud to be a consortium member. The work honors principal harpist MUC Megan Sesma's retirement. It is a celebratory, reflective work, and we are honored to feature our own harp professor, Joanne "Annie" King, as soloist.
The Wind Ensemble will close the program with Benjamin Horne's Spiritual Symphony — winner of the National Band Association's William D. Revelli Memorial Composition Contest. This work draws on four African American spirituals: "Follow the Drinking Gourd," "Motherless Child," "Deep River," and "What a Morning."
