West Point Band: American Influences - Fisher Center
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 02/04/2023
The U.S. Army’s oldest musical ensemble, the West Point Band, presents a performance in celebration of America’s musical heritage, featuring not only the composers who defined our national sound, but also those who drew influence from it, those whose voices were silenced in its creation, and those who continue to expand its meaning today.
Featured composers include Aaron Copland, William Grant Still, Charles Ives, Florence Price, James Reese Europe, and Caroline Shaw. The concert will include a performance of Paul Creston’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Band featuring the band’s world-renowned virtuoso principal saxophone, Staff Sgt. Stacy Wilson, and will conclude with Stravinsky’s iconic Firebird Suite, re-released in the year he became an American citizen.
