PORTALES—Eastern New Mexico University will host a performance by the ENMU Wind Symphony at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 4, in Buchanan Hall of the Music Building on the Portales Campus.
This concert is free and open to the public.
Dustin Seifert, chair of the Department of Music, will conduct this ensemble’s first concert of 2012. Featured repertoire includes American composer Percy Grainger’s “Lincolnshire Posy.”
This six-movement piece for band was inspired by the folksongs Grainger collected as he travelled throughout England’s countryside. This will be the first time Seifert has performed this technically- and lyrically-difficult piece, in its entirety, since he has been at ENMU.
