C-SC wind ensemble to perform ‘War and Peace’ fall concert

CANTON, Mo. — Culver-Stockton College’s wind ensemble will perform its fall concert at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium of the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. 

The concert titled, “War and Peace,” represents powerful and dramatic musical arrangements such as Barber’s “Commando March,” as well as emotionally moving peaceful works featuring Holsinger’s “On a Hymnsong of Phillip Bliss,” which is based off the Christian hymn “It is Well With My Soul.” Cornerstones of band literature, including Darius Milhaud’s “Suite Francaise” and John Barnes Chances’ “Variations on a Korean Folk Song,” also will be highlighted during the concert. 

Culver-Stockton College’s wind ensemble is under the direction of Trent Holinger, associate professor of music. It is composed of wind, brass and percussion players. The concert is free and open to the public.
