Pomona Concert Band 2024 Winter Concert
Dear Friends of the Pomona Concert Band and Supporters,
The Pomona Concert Band proudly presents their annual Winter Concert titled "Meet the Band" on Friday, February 23rd, 2024 at 7:30 pm. The concert will be held in the Palomares Park Community Center, 499 E. Arrow Hwy in Pomona and is sponsored by the City of Pomona. The concert is to be directed by Linda W. Taylor, Jorge Garcia and Kerry Kline. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be newspaper columnist and author David Allen, and the color guard will be headed by Heriberto Feliciano, USAF, Retired. Refreshments will be served at intermission. The concert is FREE to the public.
Our Winter Concert is one where we traditionally encourage our members step up and allow their talent to shine. This year we are proud to feature Fiona Karbel on the Euphonium performing "Napoli" by Herman Bellstedt, and a Clarinet Duet of Jesus Santiago & Kenny Chuang playing "Concert Piece No. 2 in D Minor" by Felix Mendelssohn.
Also featured on the program are several classic concert band arrangements including "Festive Overture" by Alfred Reed, "Chorale and Shaker Dance" by John Zdechlik, and "1812 Overture" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, arranged by Mark Williams. Contemporary works for band that will be performed include "Canterbury Chorale" by Jan Van der Roost, "Toboggan" by by JaRod Hall, "The Wolves of Alaska" by Rossano Galante, and "West Highland Sojourne" by Robert Sheldon. The band will close with "Bullets and Bayonets" by John Philip Sousa.
Don't miss this concert by one of the premier community Wind Bands in Southern California. The best part is that the concert is FREE. So bring your entire family and invite your friends to the Palomares Park Community Center on Friday February 23rd at 7:30 pm.
