The Wartburg College Symphonic Band will perform its spring concert Saturday, April 1, at 2 p.m., in Neumann Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public.

The band, under the direction of Jeffrey de Seriere II, will perform pieces by new composers like Ryan Lindveit and Kevin Day, as well as traditional pieces like Gaspar Cassadó’s “Toccata.”

Founded in 1997, the Symphonic Band performs several on-campus concerts throughout the year in addition to performances around the community and represents students of all class standings and academic majors on campus. Prominent composers Samuel Hazo, Cory McBride and Jared Barnes have collaborated with the Symphonic Band while guest conductors Bruce Ammann and Bruce Gleason along with soloists Susan Rider (trumpet) and Dominique Cawley (flute) have performed with the ensemble in recent years.
