WIND ENSEMBLE TO PERFORM

The Southeast Missouri State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble will perform at 7:30 tonight at the Jackson High School Auditorium.

The Wind Ensemble is comprised of 35 students, selected through competitive auditions. The ensemble has distinguished itself in the past several years with performances for the Missouri Music Educators Association and the College Band Directors National Association.

Tonight's performance will feature a new overture written by Hungarian composer Kamillo Lendvay, "Ye Banks and Braes O'Bonnie Doon;" a new arrangement of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera;" and a new symphony for band written by Dutch composer Johan de Meij.

Two soloists also will be featured: Southeast's instructor of trumpet Marc Fulgham and senior percussionist Lynne Bevfoden.

The concert is free.
