Lander University Wind Ensemble to Perform
February 17, 2025
The Lander University Wind Ensemble is excited to share their first concert of the semester with the community Tuesday, February 25 at 7 p.m. in the Abney Cultural Center Auditorium. This event is free and open to the public.
The theme for the ensemble’s first performance of the Spring 2025 semester is based on the ideas of sky and heaven, and selections will feature works by composers who have reflected on the space above our heads. These include “Flight” by Idio, “Sky is Waiting” by Hazo, “Star Wars” by John Williams, and others.
The Lander University Wind Ensemble is the premier instrumental concert ensemble at Lander University. The group is under the direction of Dr. Reed Gallo, chair of the Department of Music. He is also the director of bands and professor of trumpet. Gallo studied with Ron Romm, a founding member of the Canadian Brass, and many top orchestra performers. He has performed on solo tours in Europe, including the Kmoch Festival in Prague, and Southeast Asia.
