The UW-Stout Symphonic Band will present a concert titled “Winter’s Colors.” The concert will feature the world premiere of a new piece by Minneapolis based composer Clare Howard, titled Over the Blue & Green. The piece explores the experience of astronauts awed by the sight of the earth from space. The rest of the concert will feature more colorful and wintery favorites that all are sure to enjoy!
The concert will be in the Great Hall of the Memorial Student Center. Tickets are $5 and are available online at uwstout.universitytickets.com, at the Service Center in the Memorial Student Center, and at the door. UW-Stout Students with Stout I.D. will be admitted free of charge at the door.
The concert, titled The World on a Human Scale, focuses on the experience growing up as adults. How do we understand the world around us as we leave adolescence for adulthood? What does it mean to be yourself? Or build a life with someone? How do we grow old? There will be songs of a variety of genres on love, on life milestones, on memories, on moving on, and on celebration.
$5 Admission, Students FREE
