	UW Wind Symphony: Heritage of the Band Thursday, November 5, 2020, 7:30 p.m. MST Livestream from the BCPA Concert Hall Dr. Robert Belser, conductor Our modern concert band was in its infancy a century ago, an emergence from military bands for pomp and celebrations, court bands of the Classical era for entertainment and outdoor muisc, civil war era town bands accompanying the local militias, and wind ensemble music written by composers exploring the newly developing families of wind instruments. The fall concert by the UW Wind Symphony will reflect on that history in presentitng a wide variety of chamber works for smaller sets of players, transcriptions as many earlier town bands would perform, and wind ensemble works by master composers. From Mozart, through Beethoven, to Hindemith - with a little fun thrown in - the concert will as always be an evening of many varieties of good band music. Following the concert, the Wind Symphony wil be recording Holiday music for later online broadcast in December.

	UW Choirs 2020-2021 Walking In Hope: A Virtual Choir Performance Dr. Holly Dalrymple, Director of Choral Activities Dr. Brian C. Murray, Associate Director of Choral Activities This semester, the University of Wyoming choirs have been learning and making musical experiences together through virtual platforms. All UW choirs (Collegiate Chorale, Civic Chorus, Bel Canto, Singing Statesmen) have collaborated on the virtual program of music listed below. Because the choral art allows us to focus deeply on text and poetry, we have selected repertoire that embodies the ideals of strength, resiliency, and hope, as we find solace in our choral community.
