“Evening of Musical Tomfoolery”
No fooling – concert band performance is Tuesday, April 1
The Penn State Behrend Concert Band’s upcoming “Evening of Musical Tomfoolery” will be held, appropriately, on Tuesday, April 1.
The fun begins at 8:00 p.m. in the McGarvey Commons of the Reed Union Building. Admission is free.
The concert band will perform a selection of witty, whimsical pieces under the direction of Gary Viebranz, director of instrumental music at the college. On the program are works by Leopold Mozart, P.D.Q. Bach (“the 21st of J.S. Bach’s 20 children”), film composers Danny Elfman and Luis Bonfa, and percussionist Lamar Burkhalter, who also holds the title of musical director for the NFL’s Houston Texans. “We’re presenting this concert in the spirit of April Fool’s Day, so we also have several surprises in store,” Viebranz promises.
The performance is presented by the college’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences. For additional information, phone Viebranz at 814-898-6289.
