‘Gloriam’ features Sousa and musical Sept. 11 memorial

The Grove City College Symphonic Concert Band and Wind Ensemble kicks off its spring concert series at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, in Ketler Auditorium of the Pew Fine Arts Center on campus, with “Gloriam.”

“Gloriam” is a concert featuring works by Pittsburgh-based composer Sam Hazo, Frank Ticheli, Joseph Wilcox Jenkins and others. It is free and open to the public. A livestream will also be available at gcc.edu/livemusic.

The Symphonic Concert Band’s program includes “El Capitan,” one of John Philip Sousa’s most celebrated marches. The Wind Ensemble will perform “Grant Them Eternal Rest,” a moving work composed by Andrew Boysen Jr. and commissioned by the St. Ambrose University Concert Band. The piece is dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Symphonic Concert Band, which is the largest concert band on campus, is made up of music majors and nonmusic majors.
