Free (Free)
Johan de Meij – Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings"
Gustav Mahler – Symphony No. 3
Enjoy this Rebroadcast of the Marine Band's concert "A Symphonic Epic," originally performed on Feb. 25, 2018, at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland in College Park. The program featured two very different but equally epic symphonies, including Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. The 35-minute first movement is a miniature symphony in and of itself and was performed in transcription on this concert along with the transformative Finale of the entire work. The first half of the program featured composer Johan de Meij’s dramatic and colorful Symphony No. 1, conducted by the composer, inspired by The Lord of the Rings books by J.R.R. Tolkien.
