“Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue”: Ann Arbor Concert Band

David Leach and several guest conductors lead this local volunteer ensemble in a program of works from the classic wind ensemble repertoire, including  Hindemith’s 1943 Symphonic Metamorphosis, an upbeat, splashy work based on themes by Carl Maria von Weber that was later used for a George Balanchine ballet. Also, Sousa’s Northern Pines, a march written for the National Music Camp at Interlochen (MI), and works by Irving Fine, Tielman Susato, Frank Ticheli, and Michigan composer Andrew David Perkins. Guest conductors are U-M music professors Jason Fettig and John Pasquale; EMU music professors J. Nick Smith and Andrew David Perkins; and A2CB assistant conductor Matt Kazmierski.
