Central College’s music department will showcase three virtual performances in March.

Concerts will kick off with a Symphonic Wind Ensemble at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 11, in Douwstra Auditorium. The event will feature a solo by Katey Halbert, adjunct instructor, on the French horn. Halbert will perform “Pele” by Brian Balmages, inspired by the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes and fire by the same name. This lyrical work is an emotional rollercoaster to experience a glimpse of the goddess’ personality – from her quiet moments to her most volatile. The performance will be streamed on YT Premiere and directed by Eileen McGonigal, assistant professor of music.

Next, ALMA will perform at 8 p.m. Friday, March 26, in Cox-Snow Music Center. The performance will be livestreamed and directed by Gabriel Espinosa, associate professor of music.

Performances for the month conclude with a Flying Pans Steel Band concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 27, in Douwstra. The performance will be livestreamed and directed by Stan Dahl, senior lecturer of music.
