UM bands share the stage, the aisles and the spotlight in a parade of musical styles! The Wind Ensemble premieres a new saxophone concerto by Mike Crotty written specifically for faculty artist Chris Vadala and spices up the holiday season with excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and the clever March of the Wooden Soldier.

Featuring performances by the UM Wind Ensemble, Wind Orchestra, University & Community Bands, and the only concert hall appearance by the “Mighty Sound of Maryland” Marching Band.
