The Northwest Missouri State University Wind Symphony will present its fall concert at two different times: on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and on Thursday, Oct. 29, and invites the University community to view the performances online. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the concert venue will not be accessible to the public. Instead KNWT, Northwest's student-led television station, will broadcast the concert on its YouTube channel. Each day will feature two different small wind ensembles, each performing two works. The Oct. 29 program, beginning at 1 p.m. at this link, will include arrangements of Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube" and Sousa's "The Thunderer March." At 1:40 p.m., a second group will perform arrangements of Gustav Holst's "Jupiter" from The Planets and Sousa's "Liberty Bell March."
The Northwest Wind Symphony, conducted by Artist-in-Residence John Bell, is the University's premiere wind ensemble and performs the best standard selections from all styles and periods, in addition to recent repertoire for wind bands.
