Crane Concert Band

POTSDAM -- The Crane Concert Band, directed by Jill Roberts, will offer a wide-ranging program at its performance on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m., in Hosmer Hall. The group will open with "Procession of the Nobles" from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera ballet, "Mlada," followed by an introspective and soulful arrangement of the classic American folk tune "Shenandoah" by Omar Thomas. The band will also perform "Festal Scenes" by Yahushide Ito, which interweaves four folk songs from the Aomori Prefecture of Japan, Carolyn Bremer's "Early Light" (derived in part from "The Star Spangled Banner") and Dana Wilson's "Day Dreams," which was originally commissioned in honor of conductor Frank Battisti. The performance will conclude with Arturo Marquez's "Conga del Fuego Nuevo," a celebratory Latin American piece with considerable temperament and rhythm. www.potsdam.edu/cranelive.
