SWAG��Ƶ

The concert is free and open to the public

BISMARCK, ND — The leaves aren’t the only thing changing on University of Mary’s campus. On Friday, Oct. 9, the University of Mary Concert Band will perform a special, early Fall Concert in the great outdoors, on the bluff overlooking the majestic Missouri River, where Lewis and Clark presumably once stood and chartered their course as they continued their westward expedition in 1804. This performance will take place outdoors in the west corner of the new Engineering and Lumen Vitae buildings, just north of the Grotto. This performance will replace the concert previously scheduled for Oct. 25.

“While our original concert date was towards the end of October,” says Dennis Gowen, professor of music and director of Bands and High Brass at the University of Mary, “and being mindful of the current pandemic, the outdoor performance option seemed more and more likely over the past few days, as the weather forecast remains cooperative and very pleasant.” Gowen adds, “the students have been absolutely wonderful to work with this fall. They are excited and ready to present a concert with only four weeks of rehearsals.”

Works by Bach, Jacob, Bizet, Galante and Morricone are slated for the performance. “We are pleased to feature both a student and a faculty member as soloists on the performance,” says Gowen. “Senior oboist Briele Vollmuth from Bismarck will perform Gabriel’s Oboe, while Dr. Lucas Bernier lightens up the mood with Xylophonia.”

As a special treat, Gowen says “there’ll even be ‘audience participation,’ as well as some seasonal goodies for the audience – don’t miss out.”

The performance, which takes place at 4 p.m., Friday, Oct. 9 at the west corner of the Engineering building and Lumen Vitae, is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Danielle Abler, Department of Music administrative assistant, at (701) 355-8301.
