“Whether or not we realize it, we have all felt the effects of folk music,” stated Kris Chapman, director of bands at LSC-Montgomery. “When a tune instills in us a sense of pride in our country or reminds us of a particular time or place with fondness, we are experiencing the wonder that is folk music. People all over the world experience the same sensations when hearing music native to their culture. The concert will explore music from some of these diverse cultures.”
The Symphonic Band will perform great folk music from around the world exploring its importance to each country and its influence on modern music. The night will be filled with beautifully flowing melodies and up-beat rhythms.For more information about LSC-Montgomery’s music department, contact Denise Meyers at (936) 273-7021 or visit www.LoneStar.edu/music-Montgomery.
