The Cal Poly Band and Orchestra Festival Finale Concert will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 15, in the Performing Arts Center. The festival and concert are being produced in collaboration with the San Luis Obispo County Band Directors Association. Eighteen middle and high school bands and string orchestras will participate in the festival, which will offer performance adjudications and professional clinics. The capstone for the day’s events is a concert presented by Cal Poly’s Wind Orchestra and Wind Ensemble which will include performances of “Lincolnshire Posy” by Percy Grainger, a bouquet of six tunes from British folk singers he collected in the early 20th century; “Sunflower Studies,” a new work by Nicole Piunno, inspired by the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh; and “Bugs” by Roger Cichy which depicts the unique personalities of five insects and arachnids. The concert will be conducted by Christopher J. Woodruff, Nicholas P. Waldron, and student conductor Ari Maman. More information is on the Music Department’s calendar website. Tickets are sold at the Cal Poly Ticket Office, ext. 6-4849.
