ORANGE CITY, Iowa — Northwestern College’s Symphonic Band will present a movie-themed concert, “Lights, Camera, Action!” in Christ Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16. The event is free and open to the public.
The 54-member band, under the direction of Angela Holt, will perform three pieces by famed movie composer John Williams, including “Soaring with John Williams,” “Jurassic Park Soundtrack Highlights,” and “Hymn to the Fallen."
The latter piece will be conducted by Jacob Ven Huizen, a 2017 Northwestern graduate with a bachelor’s degree in music education.
The ensemble will also play Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Selections From the Phantom of the Opera,” “Godzilla Eats Las Vegas!” by Eric Whitacre, and “Over the Rainbow,” which will feature soloist Cindy Moeller.
The Symphonic Band will tour in Nebraska and South Dakota April 12-15. The group has been selected as the state’s only small-college band to perform at the Iowa Bandmasters Association conference May 10 in Des Moines.
