LISTEN TO THIS!
"LISTEN TO THIS" is a weekly feature in our newsletter where I challenge each member of the band to listen to some great band music. Today's piece is one of my favorites. Originally written for orchestra, the Overture to Candide fits very well with the band. It was composed by American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein as the opening to his humorous operetta, Candide.LISTEN TO THIS!
