From blues to bluegrass to Mozart\u2019s\u00a0Requiem, Kansas Wesleyan\u2019s Music Department will display its range in sometimes surprising ways during upcoming concerts.<\/p>\n

The Wind Ensemble and Jazz Combo kick things off with a concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, in Sams Chapel.\u00a0Benjamin Rohrer, Wind Ensemble director, will offer a program ranging from marches to highlights from the musical \u201cOliver.\u201d\u00a0The Jazz Combo, directed by Jake Montoya, will run the gamut from blues to funk to Latin-inspired on the same program.<\/p>\n

The KWU Percussion Ensemble, led by Daniel Albertson, ensemble director, will present its program at 7 p.m. April 30 in Sams Chapel.<\/p>\n

The selections, all by modern composers, will showcase the tonal ranges of percussion instruments. Dr. Gustavo do Carmo, KWU collaborative pianist, will assist the quintet.<\/p>\n

The KWU Philharmonic Choir will be featured in two performances of Mozart\u2019s\u00a0Requiem, the composer\u2019s final masterpiece, with the Salina Symphony. The first will be at the Brown Grand Theatre in Concordia at 7 p.m. May 3. The next will be at the symphony\u2019s home, the Stiefel Theatre, at 4 p.m. May 4.<\/p>\n

The KWU String Orchestra will perform at 7 p.m. May 6 in Sams Chapel. Orchestra director Leonardo Rosario will also be featured on the violin in the \u201cStrings and Threads Suite\u201d by American classical and bluegrass composer Mark O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis series of concerts really runs the gamut,\u201d said Michelle Dolan, executive director of music. \u201cWe\u2019ll present classical and modern, country, bebop and Latin. No matter what style of music our students appreciate, we are able to offer it to them. Audiences are sure to appreciate the range, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
