Palmetto Concert Band February Concert

The Palmetto Concert Band is proud to present its February concert “International Impressions.” 

Each piece gives an impression of another country and their music.  They will be based on the music from another country or a composer from another country.  You will hear Argentinian dance songs from the ballet “Estancia” by Albert Ginastera, English folk songs in a suite by Ralph Vaughn Williams, a beautiful Australian tune by Percy Aldridge Grainger as well as a march by Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen.  They will also perform an arrangement of folk songs from Armenia written by American composer Alfred Reed and impressions from the Romani people whose melodies and rhythms are a fusion of styles and cultures: Malagueña of Spain, Argentine Tango, Arabic music, Turkish folk songs, Latin claves, and Jazz. 

The concert will take place at the Koger Center for the Arts on February 11, 2023 at 8:00pm and is free and open to the public.
