Billboard Magazine called Brad Colerick "one of a baker's dozen of acts to watch in the folk community around the world." He has turned many heads in the roots music world since jumping back to the artist side after 19 years producing music for ads where he worked alongside such icons as Johnny Cash, BB King, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Guy. He has appeared on hallowed stages from McCabe’s and Freight & Salvage in the west to the Bluebird and Birchmere back east. His CDs (featuring the likes of Suzy Bogguss, Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen, Lowen & Navarro and other talented friends) have landed in the Top 5 of both the Folk DJ and Euro-Americana charts.

The concert will feature the Cal Poly Wind Orchestra, the Wind Ensemble, and the “Pride of the Pacific” Mustang Marching Band in an evening of bold and powerful works for the modern wind band and the traditional stadium marching band.

The combined forces of the Wind Orchestra and Wind Ensemble will perform selections from Carl Orff’s blockbuster score “Carmina Burana.” Other highlights include David Maslanka’s epic masterpiece “A Child’s Garden of Dreams,” Keith Gates’ “Icarus and Daedalus,” and Samuel Adler’s ”A Little Night and Day Music.” The Mustang Marching Band will stage versions of some of its field shows and some fan favorites from the stands.

This will be the first band concert of the season that new Director of Bands Andy McMahan will conduct. He will lead the Wind Ensemble in Maslanka’s moving work relating the dreams of a young girl. Associate Director of Bands Christopher Woodruff will conduct the Wind Orchestra. The 145-member Mustang Marching Band will be conducted by students Jeffrey Brown and Erin Stearns.

Cal Poly Interim President Robert Glidden will join the Wind Ensemble to conduct Gustav Holst’s “First Suite in E flat.”

The concert will begin with music from Disney’s “Fantasia” — J.S. Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D minor,” arranged by Leopold Stokowski. Symphony conductor David Arrivée said this transcription for large orchestra employs every trick in the orchestrator’s bag to turn a piece for solo organ into a showcase for a 20th century orchestra.

The Cal Poly Symphony will then be joined by Paul Severtson, co-concertmaster of the San Luis Obispo Symphony, and Brynn Albanese, violinist in Café Musique as well as several of the nation’s top orchestras, in a performance of Bach's “Concerto for Two Violins in D minor.”

The orchestra then will move to Bach’s musical legacy. Johannes Brahms wrote his "Fourth Symphony" in 1885, more than 100 years after Bach’s death but drew upon Baroque forms heavily. Most notably, the last movement is a chaconne, at the time a very outdated form in music, the repeating theme of which is adapted from a theme in Bach’s cantata, “Nach Dir, Herr, verlanget mich.”

Tickets for the concert are $6 for students, $8 and $10 for senior citizens, and $10 and $12 for the public. They are on sale at the Performing Arts Ticket Office 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. To order by phone, call SLO-ARTS (805-756-2787). Discounts are given to patrons who buy tickets to four or more Music Department season events.

The concert is sponsored by the Cal Poly Music Department, College of Liberal Arts and the Instructionally Related Activities program. For more information, go to www.symphony.calpoly.edu, e-mail music@calpoly.edu or call 805-756-2406.
