On Sunday, Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. the Bangor Band will come in from the cold and perform a free concert at Peakes Auditorium in Bangor High School.
A beloved annual tradition, the Harvest Concert kicks off an autumn lineup of programs with concert band favorites and new compositions that showcase the versatile talent of New England’s oldest continuously performing community band.
Conducted by Music Director Dr. Philip Edelman and Associate Conductor Scott Burditt, the band will perform selections focusing on gratitude, love, and joy.
“Choose Joy” by Randall Standridge, “October” by Eric Whitacre and the popular “Ashokan Farewell” by Jay Ungar join selections from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story” and “Washington Post March” and “Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa to make an upbeat, family friendly concert.
The Band’s fall lineup continues on Nov. 11 with a special Veterans Day celebration at the Cole Land Transportation Museum and Dec. 8 with a “Sounds of the Season” celebration at Peakes Auditorium.
