Butler Wind Ensemble Presents “Folk Festival”
On February 21, 2016, the Schrott Center for the Arts hosted the Butler University Wind Ensemble in their performance of “Folk Festival.” On a weekend when the weather was beautiful, the Wind Ensemble brought a full house to their performance.
Directed by Michael Colburn, the Butler University Wind Ensemble’s “Folk Festival” was a collection of pieces from suites to concertos, all embodying a type of folk style.
The concert included the following: Shostakovich’s Folk Festival, Milhaud’s Suite Francaise, Rosauro’s Concerto for Marimba, Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy, and Grantham’s Southern Harmony.
“It was a refreshing take on folk music and vigorously exciting,” said sophomore Aaron Burns.
The individual pieces were unique in and of themselves, but together culminated into a concert enjoyed by many.
