The UNL Campus Bands will be presenting a concert inspired by both the presence and absence of light entitled, “A Little Light Music”. The concert will feature performances by both the Jack R. Snider and the Donald A. Lentz Concert Bands. The bands bear the names of former band directors here at UNL. Featured composers include: Brian Balmages, Thomas Duffy, David Gillingham, Quincy Hilliard, John Mackey, Dmitri Shostakovich, Frank Ticheli, and Others. Adding a unique touch to the concert will be a slide show to accompany John Mackey’s “Lightning Field” and an electroaccoustic work “Lights Out” by Alex Shapiro. Conducting the bands will be Assistant Director of Bands, Douglas W. Bush along with Conducting Associates, Bradley Nelsen, Alexander Burgess, and Melanie Settle.

The Campus Band, directed by Douglas Bush, is the university’s largest concert band. Its select mission is to provide a high quality performance venue for musicians representing a wide array of musical backgrounds and major fields of study within the university.
