United States Coast Guard Band Presents Free Concert: “Everything Under the Moon”
March 24 @ 1:00 pm
Sunday, March 24 at 2:00 p.m. in Leamy Hall at the United States Coast Guard Academy, the United States Coast Guard Band presents a free concert, “Everything Under the Moon.” Come enjoy an adventurous performance of music that spans from dreamy to vivacious under the baton of Commander Adam Williamson. We welcome New London NAACP Vice President Tamara Lanier as guest speaker, and Chief Warrant Officer Jeffrey Spenner hosts a pre-concert talk from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The program celebrates modern works by a diverse array of composers. The high-spirited “Fanfare Politeia” by Kimberly Archer opens the concert, followed by Sousa’s “The Gridiron Club March.” The soothing “Sleep and Repose: The Coming of Light” from Roshanne Etezady’s Anahita contrasts Ginastera’s thrilling “Danza Final” from Estancia. Next on the program is a set of love songs by Steven Bryant and Antonín Dvořák featuring soprano Musician 1st Class Allison Landstedt. The concert comes to a jazzy, soulful conclusion with Kevin Day’s Concerto for Wind Ensemble.
This event is free and open to the public. Leamy Hall is located at 15 Mohegan Avenue, New London, CT, 06320.
