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,” sophomore Aaron Burns said.

The individual pieces were unique in and of themselves, but together culminated into a concert that was a single entity enjoyed by many.
