MONMOUTH, Ill. – As the World Series plays out in the cities of Houston and Washington, D.C., Monmouth College’s Wind Ensemble will tip its collective hat to baseball at its Oct. 27 concert.

Free and open to the public, the concert will be held at 2 p.m. in the Kasch Performance Hall of Dahl Chapel and Auditorium.

The concert will open with the piece “Early Light” by Carolyn Bremer, which is a musical play on the “Star Spangled Banner,” inspired by Bremer’s love for baseball.

Under the direction of Stacy Dziuk, the Wind Ensemble will also feature the works of Alfred Reed, Percy Grainger and Malcolm Arnold.

“The Wind Ensemble has continued to grow as we welcome 10 new freshmen to the ensemble this fall,” said Dziuk, who joined Monmouth’s music faculty in 2017.
