Westminster College will host the 55th Annual Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band concert Sunday, March 3, at 2 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
"The Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band holds the distinction of being the longest continuing collegiate festival in the country - 55 years," said R. Tad Greig, director of bands at Westminster College. "The band is made up of the top collegiate musicians who are selected from the recommendations of their respective band directors. Westminster has the largest contingent this year with nine members."
This year Eugene Corporon from the University of North Texas will conduct the 118-member ensemble.
"Mr. Corporon is one the best known wind conductors in the world, and has provided a wealth of recordings to the wind ensemble repertory," added Greig.
Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for students. For more information, contact the Westminster College Music Department at (724) 946-7270.
