The Lehman College & Community Band celebrates the season with “Holiday Spectacular!” a concert featuring a mix of holiday selections and classics for wind band. This event is free and open to the public on Sunday, December 14, at 2:00 p.m. in the Lovinger Theatre.
Led by Professor Alan Hollander of the Music Program, the ensemble will perform a wide range of works, including perennial holiday favorites like, Christmas Festival and Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson, a medley of traditional Hanukah tunes entitled Festive Sounds of Hanukah arranged by Bill Holcombe, and the lively Dreidel Dance by Robert Thurston.
Norman Rockwell Suite by Hayato Hirose offers a slice of Americana, inspired by three of Rockwell’s famous paintings. Also presented will be Morton Gould’s vibrant and energetic arrangement of Jingle Bells, the rock-and-roll themed You Better Sleigh! by JaRod Hall, as well as Philip Sparke’s Sinfonietta No. 4, a vibrant work that offers a modern salute to the legacy of great concert band composers of the past.
Rounding out the program, by popular demand, will be a humorous medley by David Lovrien entitled Minor Alterations: Christmas Through the Looking Glass, a game of musical hide-and-seek for the audience, in which familiar Christmas carols are transposed from major to minor keys then disguised and layered to create something new and innovative.
