ASU Wind Symphony and Wind Ensemble “An Unfinished Symphony: America @ 250”

 

The ASU Wind Symphony and Wind Ensemble return to ASU Gammage for a commemorative concert in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Through music, this program explores pivotal moments in the nation's history, culminating in a performance of John Philip Sousa's iconic The Stars and Stripes Forever.  The featured guest artists are Master Sgt. Katayoon Hodjati, a recently retired member of the US Army Field Band and alumnus of ASU and Tim Healy, the voice of Sun Devil Athletics, in a stirring performance of Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait.
