Wind Band Institute

Join the Louisville Concert Band during Wind Band Institute week for a program full of drama, wit, and heart. From the sweeping intensity of Khachaturian’s “Three Dance Episodes from Spartacus” to the optimistic and jaunty strains of Sousa’s “Homeward Bound” and the rich textures of Clifton Williams’ “Solemn Fugue”, the concert showcases the expressive power of the wind band. Chamber works by Donizetti and Shulamit Ran add contrast—Ran’s “Flight of the Brave Chicken: Ode to Nina” offers a playful, unexpected twist, while Donizetti’s “Sinfonia” brings a touch of classical charm. It’s a bold and colorful musical experience you won’t want to miss!
