Aiken, SC (11/02/2019) — The University of South Carolina Aiken Wind Ensemble presents French Connections, on Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m., in the Etherredge Center for the Fine and Performing Arts.
"Our second program of the fall semester embraces the works of French composers along with some American connections to French music," said Dr. Hayes Bunch, conductor of the wind ensemble.
"The program will feature works from the late eighteenth, late nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries as well as two recent works that hark back to past French influence.
The public is invited. Tickets are $10 for the general public. All students get in free with a valid ID. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.usca.edu/etherredge-center or by calling 803-641-3305.
Guest artist and flute soloist, Dr. Emily Stumpf, USC Aiken's instructor of flute, will join the USC Aiken Wind Ensemble in a stirring rendition of Cécile Chaminade's Concertino, op. 107. The program also includes an original composition paying homage to the venerable French composer Darius Milhaud by USC Aiken's Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Dr. Mark Hollingsworth, as well as more traditional works by Claude Debussy, Frank Ticheli, Gabriel Fauré, and Camille Saint-Saëns.
"The student musicians of the USC Aiken Wind Ensemble look forward to sharing the works of these terrific composers," said Bunch.
