Lakeshore Symphonic Band Presents: Songs and Dances

Lakeshore Symphonic Band offers its first concert of the 2017-18 season with its new music director, Michael Zens, on the podium. The October 21 concert is at 7:30 PM at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center, W68N611 Evergreen Blvd in Cedarburg. Tickets are $5.00 at the door.

The band’s concert season steps out by exploring dances. Featured pieces include old American dances, a Mexican theme, folk dance tunes incorporated into pieces by Shostakovich, Grainger, Vaughn Williams, and Bernstein. A more contemporary piece by Warren Benson completes the journey.

Lakeshore Symphonic Band performs four annual concerts of high quality music for symphonic band and wind ensemble aficionados. A popular annual free Christmas Concert is presented at Holy Hill Basilica in Hubertus December 10, 2017 at 6:00 PM. The band attracts talented musicians from many parts of southeast Wisconsin, and is thrilled to welcome Mr. Zens as its new music director.
