The Casella Sinfonietta brings faculty and student musicians together to explore that question through three vivid and contrasting works from the early 20th century. \n\n\n\nSilvestre Revueltas’ Homenaje a Federico García Lorca combines rhythmic vitality with an elegiac tribute to the Spanish poet. Paul Hindemith’s Der Schwanendreher draws inspiration from German folk melodies\, transforming them through inventive harmonies and virtuosic writing. Darius Milhaud’s La création du monde reflects the influence of jazz through syncopated rhythms\, colorful instrumentation\, and exuberant energy. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these works reveal modernism not as a single musical style\, but as a meeting place for cultural traditions\, experimentation\, and bold new forms of expression. \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Soloist\nScott Rawls\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nViolist Scott Rawls has appeared as soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States\, Canada\, Mexico\, Japan\, and Europe.  Recent chamber music endeavors include performances with Dmitry Sitkovetsky\, Branford Marsalis\, Sergey Antonov\, Michelle Cann and the Reynolda Quartet.  With the Nikkanen/Rawls/Bailey string trio\, he has played tours in Alaska\, Washington\, Arizona and Texas.  His solo and chamber music recordings can be heard on the Centaur\, CRI\, Nonesuch\, Capstone\, and Philips labels.   \n\n\n\nA strong proponent of new music\, Rawls has premiered dozens of new works by prominent composers.  Most notable\, he has toured extensively as a member of Steve Reich and Musicians.  As the violist in this ensemble\, he performed the numerous premieres of Daniel Variations\, The Cave and Three Tales by Steve Reich and Beryl Korot\, videographer.

At the center of the program is Johann de Meij’s Un momento dado\, which brings the two ensembles together in an expansive work filled with color\, energy\, and vivid musical contrasts. \n\n\n\nThe concert also explores the breadth of the wind repertoire through works by three compelling American and European voices. Ida Gotkovsky’s Poème du feu evokes the intensity and transformative power of fire\, while Charles Ives’s “The Alcotts” offers a reflective musical portrait inspired by the transcendentalist world of Concord\, Massachusetts. Matt Browne’s Keep It Up brings the program to an energetic close with rhythmic drive and infectious momentum. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these works move from fiery brilliance and contemplative lyricism to sweeping musical storytelling\, highlighting the rich colors and expressive possibilities of winds. \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Guest Artists\nAkropolis Reed Quintet\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFounded in 2009\, the Billboard-charting\, 7-time national prize-winning Akropolis Reed Quintet is “a sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity” (BBC Music Magazine). In 2025\, the ensemble made history as the lead ensemble on the GRAMMY® Award-winning recording of Strands by Pascal Le Boeuf\, which won Best Instrumental Composition at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Comprising five reed players and entrepreneurs unbounded by limits or categorization\, Akropolis has graced the Classical Billboard Charts with each of their last three albums\, including #2 in April\, 2024\, and has won seven national chamber music prizes including the 2014 Fischoff Gold Medal. Having premiered and commissioned more than 200 works by living artists and composers\, they are pioneers and champions of a new genre of classical music—the reed quintet. \n\n\n\nComposed of the same five members that brought about its founding over 15 years ago at the University of Michigan\, they are the first ensemble to receive the University’s Paul M. Boylan Alumni Award. Akropolis delivers 120 concerts and educational events worldwide each year at luminary series including Tanglewood\, Bravo! Vail\, University Musical Society\, Chamber Music Northwest\, and more. Akropolis became the first reed quintet associated with a GRAMMY®-winning recording through its 2024 album\, Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?\, a collaboration with Pascal Le Boeuf and drummer Christian Euman. The album features “Strands\,” which earned the 2025 GRAMMY® Award for Best Instrumental Composition. \n\n\n\nUtilizing their “sheer musical imagination” (Gramophone)\, the quintet is also known for powerful collaborations with youth and others within its Southeast Michigan community. Certified as a 510(c)(3) nonprofit organization\, Akropolis runs a Detroit-based summer festival called Together We Sound\, holds an annual\, school year-long music composition residencies at Cass Tech\, Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and Detroit School of Arts high schools\, and produces a 10-day Chamber Music Institute focused on artist training in partnership with Interlochen Center for the Arts.   \n\n\n\nDescribed as “pure gold” by the San Francisco Chronicle\, Akropolis Reed Quintet performs worldwide and is represented exclusively by Ariel Artists. \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Wind Ensemble\n\n\n\n\nThe UNCG Wind Ensemble is the premier wind band of the UNCG School of Music\, uniting fifty outstanding musicians from across the United States and around the world. Its members—ranging from first‑year undergraduates to master’s and doctoral students in performance and music education—are selected through a highly competitive audition process. Ensemble musicians regularly earn top solo and chamber awards\, competitive scholarships and fellowships\, and professional positions in orchestras\, military bands\, teaching\, and arts leadership. Current students represent seventeen states\, Slovenia\, and Hong Kong. \n\n\n\nFor decades\, the ensemble has built a distinguished record of artistic excellence\, with acclaimed performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, Lincoln Center\, and leading venues throughout the eastern United States. Its catalog of more than twenty commercial recordings has received national recognition and helped position UNCG as a leader in wind band performance\, commissioning\, and recording. \n\n\n\nThe Wind Ensemble has been featured at major national and regional conferences of the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA)\, National Band Association (NBA)\, American Bandmasters Association (ABA)\, and Music Educators National Conference (MENC). The ensemble has also collaborated with prominent composers and performers\, including Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Karel Husa and other influential figures in the field. \n\n\n\nRecent highlights include performances at the Music Center at Strathmore; a joint concert with the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own”; a twelve‑day international tour through the Czech Republic\, Austria\, and Italy\, culminating in a featured performance at Prague’s renowned Dvořák Hall; and a tour of the Southern United States that concluded with an appearance at the national conference of the College Band Directors National Association. \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nUNCG Bands\nThe UNCG Bands are devoted to the performance\, study\, and advancement of wind band music at the highest artistic level.

Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Our Email List\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nclarinet\, music\, studio recital\n\n\nInstagram\n\nFacebook\n\nX\n\nYouTube\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n“The President’s Own” United States Marine Band’s tour performance is free and open to the public. Free tickets will be available beginning September 30 and are limited to four (4) per request.  \n\n\n\n\n\nPatron Information\n\n\n\nVenue doors will open 45 minutes before the concert\, with seating beginning at that time. Ticket holders should be seated at least 15 minutes before the performance to guarantee their seat. After that time\, any unclaimed seats may be released to patrons in the standby line on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\n\n\nLarge bags and backpacks are not permitted inside the concert venue. No flash photography or video recording permitted. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstablished by an Act of Congress in 1798\, the United States Marine Band (“The President’s Own”) is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. Its mission is unique—to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. \n\n\n\nPresident John Adams invited the Marine Band to make its White House debut on New Year’s Day\, 1801\, in the then-unfinished Executive Mansion. In March of that year\, the band performed for Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration and it is believed that it has performed for every presidential inaugural since. In Jefferson\, the band found its most visionary advocate. An accomplished musician himself\, Jefferson recognized the unique relationship between the band and the Chief Executive and he is credited with giving the Marine Band its title\, “The President’s Own.” \n\n\n\nWhether performing for State Dinners or South Lawn arrivals\, events of national significance\, or receptions\, Marine Band musicians appear at the White House an average of 200 times each year. These performances range from small ensembles such as a solo pianist\, jazz combo or brass quintet to a country band\, dance band or full concert band. The diversity of music often presented at the Executive Mansion makes versatility an important requirement for Marine Band members. Musicians are selected at auditions much like those of major symphony orchestras\, and they enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps for permanent duty with the Marine Band. Most of today’s members are graduates of the nation’s finest music schools\, and more than 60 percent hold advanced degrees in music. \n\n\n\nIn addition to its White House mission\, “The President’s Own” performs an annual season showcase series of indoor concerts and a popular outdoor summer concert series on the National Mall. Musicians from the band are frequently highlighted in solo performances and participate in more intimate chamber ensemble recitals that feature a wide range of smaller instrumental groups. Marine Band musicians also perform in many different types of ceremonies and events throughout the Washington\, D.C.\, metropolitan area including the Presidential Inauguration\, Full Honors funerals at Arlington National Cemetery\, Honor Flight ceremonies for veterans at the National World War II Memorial\, Friday Evening Parades at Marine Barracks\, Washington\, D.C.\, and educational programs in schools throughout the National Capital Region. \n\n\n\nEach fall\, the Marine Band travels throughout a portion of the continental United States during its concert tour\, a tradition initiated in 1891 by “The March King” John Philip Sousa\, who was the band’s legendary 17th Director. As Director from 1880–92\, Sousa brought “The President’s Own” to an unprecedented level of excellence and shaped the band into a world-famous musical organization. Since Sousa’s time\, the band’s musical reach has extended beyond America’s borders on several occasions with performances in England\, Norway\, Ireland\, the Netherlands\, Switzerland\, Singapore\, and the former Soviet Union. During Sousa’s tenure\, the Marine Band was one of the first musical ensembles to make sound recordings. By 1892\, more than 200 different titles were available for sale\, placing Sousa’s marches among the first and most popular pieces ever recorded. \n\n\n\nWhile the Marine Band is firmly dedicated to preserving the unique musical traditions established over its long history\, it is equally committed to serving as a leading ensemble in the development of new repertoire for winds. In 2000\, “The President’s Own” commissioned David Rakowski’s Ten of a Kind\, a piece honored as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in music in 2002. In 2007\, the band commissioned “Scamp” by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Melinda Wagner\, and the Marine Band premièred Scott Lindroth’s Passage at the 2010 Midwest Clinic in Chicago. In 2011\, the band commissioned and premièred Flourishes and Meditations on a Renaissance Theme by Michael Gandolfi at the American Bandmasters Association’s annual convention in Norfolk\, Va. Most recently\, music written for the Marine Band has included Gerard Schwarz’ Above and Beyond\, Jacob Bancks’ The Information Age and Laurence Bitensky to write Fearsome Critters\, the latter of which was premièred at the Texas Bandmasters Association Convention in San Antonio in July 2012. \n\n\n\nOn July 11\, 1998\, the Marine Band celebrated its 200th anniversary with a command performance at the White House and a gala concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington attended by President and Mrs. Clinton. Also during its bicentennial year\, the Marine Band was the only ensemble inducted into the inaugural class of the American Classical Music Hall of Fame in Cincinnati. \n\n\n\nGiven its status among American musical organizations\, “The President’s Own” continues to attract prominent guest conductors from major orchestras around the globe\, including Osmo Vänskä\, Leonard Slatkin\, José Serebrier and Gerard Schwarz. On July 12\, 2003\, the Marine Band returned to the Kennedy Center to celebrate its 205th anniversary in a concert featuring guest conductor John Williams\, renowned composer of American film and concert works and laureate conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra. Williams returned to the podium in 2008 to conduct the final concert of the Living History concert series celebrating the Marine Band’s 210th anniversary. In honor of the Marine Band’s 215th birthday\, John Williams composed and dedicated an original work to the Marine Band aptly titled “For ‘The President’s Own.’” \n\n\n\nThe Marine Band’s integral role in the national culture and in the government’s official life has affirmed the importance of the arts as a bridge between people. Since 1798\, the Marine Band’s mission has been to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. As the only musical organization with that mission\, the Marine Band looks to the future\, viewing its history and tradition as the foundation upon which to build its third century of bringing music to the White House and to the American people.
