U.S. Marine Band: A Symphonic Epic
This program features two very different but equally epic symphonies, including Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3. The 35-minute first movement is a miniature symphony in and of itself and will be performed in transcription on this concert along with the transformative Finale of the entire work. The first half of the program features composer Johan de Meij's dramatic and colorful Symphony No. 1 inspired by The Lord of the Rings books by J.R.R. Tolkien.
