Laramie Civic Chorus and Campus Community Band Concert Nov. 10 at UW

The Laramie Civic Chorus and Campus Community Band join forces for a collaborative concert Monday, Nov. 10, at 7:30 p.m. in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall.

The program features a rich blend of traditional pieces, modern compositions and new works by living composers.

The Laramie Civic Chorus, under the direction of O’Neil Jones and with Renato da Silva on piano, will present a thought-provoking program. Highlights include Howard Helvey’s inspiring “Song of Creation” and Elaine Hagenberg’s reflective “There was a Time.” The chorus also is honored to present two new compositions -- “Imagined Corners” and “Alchemy” -- by living composer Reginal Wright. The set concludes with Christopher Aspaas’s spirited “i thank You God for most this amazing day.”

The Campus Community Band, led by conductor Robert Belser, will perform classic concert literature, including Julius Fučik’s “The Florentiner March” and Carl Wittrock’s “Lord Tullamore.” Pop culture fans will enjoy a rendition of John Williams’ iconic “The Imperial March” (Darth Vader's Theme) from “Star Wars.” The program also will feature an arrangement of “Greensleeves” by Alfred Reed, alongside vibrant pieces by Clare Grundman, Robert W. Smith and David Bobrowitz.
