September 21, 2021 The 2021–22 concert season of the ASU School of Music, Dance and Theater’s Wind Orchestra brings music with a live audience to the stage at the University of Music, Dance and Theater. “I think the great impact of the pandemic brought back the joy of being in the room with other musicians and being able to make music together. I know we all look forward to sharing this music with a live audience. ”ASU Wind Bands Download Full Image Students on the ASU Wind Bands program, which includes the Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony, Maroon and Gold Band and Chamber Winds learned about recordings and virtual performances after the cancellation of live performances last year.

This year, as well as sharing great music, I want to share music that is special to me. ”Duncan joined the school in fall 2020 and will be performing at the season premiere at the 22nd Madison Center for the Arts in Phoenix. According to Duncan, the planning process for each season begins with choosing the main piece and / or the guest artist, and then selecting the other pieces for each concert, then trying to make an artistic statement or find a way to combine it with the other pieces of the To combine concerts, ”said Duncan. “Sometimes the connection is subtle, sometimes more open.” The second concert of the wind symphony, for example, will be presented by ASU alumnus Nathan Bitter (BM ’20), a winner of the ASU Concerto Competition 2019, who will perform the famous trombone by the Danish composer Launy Grondahl Concert.
