Wind Orchestra presents "Lost City" & Concert Band presents "Rhythm & Revelry"

The Georgia State University Wind Orchestra and Concert Band share the stage for an evening of two contrasting programs.

The Wind Orchestra presents Lost City — a program of evocative, landscape-driven works that span continents and eras. The concert opens with John Mackey's haunting Haunted Objects (2024), followed by Benjamin Horne's deeply expressive Deep River (2021), conducted by Julianna Pinero. Stephen Kent Goodman's rollicking Gold-Rush Rag, conducted by Israel LaFleur, offers a moment of levity before Morten Lauridsen's radiant Contra Qui Rose, arranged by Reynolds, and Satoshi Yagisawa's sweeping Machu Picchu bring the evening to a breathtaking close.

The Concert Band follows with Rhythm & Revelry — a high-energy program built for pure musical delight. The concert opens with Jaime Texidor's irresistible Amparito Roca, conducted by Israel LaFleur, followed by Brant Karrick's energetic J.S. Jig, conducted by Jacob Brown, and David Samuel's mischievous Dance of the Imp (2020). Gabriel Fauré's elegant Fantasie (1898), featuring flutist Jessica Petrasek, offers a moment of lyrical beauty before David Biedenbender's rhythmically charged Melodious Thunk brings the evening to a rousing close.
Admission is free and open to the public.
