At Syracuse University, the ensemble will perform a variety of musical styles and selections. Included on the program are “Concertante” by Steven Bulla, “Overture to Candide” by Leonard Bernstein, “Lost World” by John Williams, “Comedian’s Galop” by Dmitri Kabalevsky and “Sing! Sing! Sing!” by Louis Prima. SU Brass Ensemble director, James T. Spencer, who is also a professor in the University’s Department of Chemistry, arranged several of the selections.
