On Monday, April 18, the Bismarck State College Wind Ensemble will take its audience "Around the World in 80 Minutes - Take Two" with music from cultures around the world.
Dr. John Darling conducts the ensemble in selections evoking the music of Scotland, Mexico, England, Czech Republic, Balkan Peninsula and the United States.
The program begins at 7:30 p.m. in Sidney J. Lee Auditorium and features student soloist Luke Hushagen in "The Bluebells of Scotland," a theme and variations piece for trombone and band.
The concert begins with "Gandalf, The Wizard" from Symphony No. 1 - "The Lord of the Rings" by Johan de Meij in an out-of-this-world salute to Middle Earth. "Colonel Bogey" from "The Bridge on the River Kwai" by Kenneth J. Alford provides a classic British march inspired by a whistle across a golf course. A stop by Mexico yields "Granada" by Agustin Lara, one of Mexico's seminal songwriters.
Music of the Balkans and Czech Republic is featured in "Balkanya, Three Balkanese Dances," by Jan Van der Roost, and "Danse Bohemien" by Randal D. Standridge. Frank Ticheli's classic "Shenandoah" offers natural and timeless images in musical form.
The concert is offered free of charge during ArtsQuest, BSC's month-long celebration of the arts.
