CANYON, Texas — The West Texas A&M University Concert Band will give a performance brimming with vigor in its upcoming winter concert.

The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. March 5 in Mary Moody Northen Recital Hall on WT’s Canyon campus. Admission is free.

“From beginning to end, this is a fast, exciting, no-holds-barred celebration of life,” said Dr. Russ Teweleit, professor of music in the School of Music in the Sybil B. Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities.

The program will include John Barnes Chance’s “Incantation and Dance,” a classic work of band literature; “Rest” by Frank Ticheli; “Strange Humors” by John Mackey; and “Wedding Dance” by Jacque Press. It will open with “Ecstatic Fanfare,” adapted from composer Steven Bryant’s “Excstatic Waters,” which will be performed in its entirety in the band’s May 3 concert.

Students Patrick Lucas, a graduate student in music performance from Odessa, and Braden Lefevre, a graduate student in music performance from Canyon, will conduct the Ticheli and Mackey pieces, respectively.

Fostering an appreciation of the arts is a key component of the University’s long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the historic, $125 million One West comprehensive fundraising campaign. To date, the five-year campaign — which publicly launched in September 2021 — has raised more than $120 million.
