NCB kicks off its spring concert with the dazzling Gavorkna Fanfare, followed by a stirring tone poem by Mark Camphouse in honor of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks. Acclaimed horn soloists Bill Barnewitz and Gail Williams join members of the band to perform a delightful partita by Franz Krommer. The program concludes with a recent composition that has already become a bona fide band classic –— Frank Ticheli's jazzy and rhythmic Blue Shades.

Jack Stamp Gavorkna Fanfare
Mark Camphouse A Movement for Rosa
Ron Nelson Courtly Airs and Dances
Franz Krommer Partita in D-sharp for Two Horns and Wind Octet
