UMASS FINE ARTS CENTER

The UMass Concert Band performs the first half and features UMass Professor of Trombone, Greg Spiridopoulos. Nadine Shank, UMass Professor of Piano, joins the UMass Wind Ensemble on the second half to perform one of David Maslanka's final works for winds: Piano Concerto No. 3, "Do you know my name?" (2016). UMass Wind Studies was a part of the consortium to bring this work into the repertoire. All of the works on the program examine the "hard" and soft" edges in music; the concert closes with Hindemith's monumental Symphony in Bb.
