The Bucknell University Symphonic Band will perform Robert W. Smith’s musical exploration of Dante’s The Divine Comedy during a free, public concert on Sunday, Dec. 2, at 2:30 p.m. in the Weis Center for the Performing Arts.
Under the direction of music professor William Kenny, the Symphonic Band comprises students from majors all across campus. Performing at least twice per semester, programs are selected from some of the most challenging and rewarding music of the entire band repertoire. Recent programs have included music by such composers as Holst, Grainger, Reed, Copland, Shostakovich and Whitacre.
