UCLA Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band

classical, contemporary
Schoenberg Hall Watch Livestream View Program

The UCLA Symphonic Band opens the concert with band works by Alfred Reed, Frank Ticheli, Cait Nishimura, and Percy Aldridge Grainger, as well as a medley of songs from The Wizard of Oz and P.D.Q. Bach's Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion.

The UCLA Wind Ensemble opens the second half with Gala Flagello's Bravado, followed by three programmatic works with uncommonly generic titles: Ernst Toch's three-movement Spiel für Blasorchester; Richard Wagner's Trauermusik (a memorial tribute to Carl Maria von Weber); and Zhou Tian's Sinfonia, a four-movement work of symphonic scope that won the 2022 Sousa-ABA-Ostwald Award.

Graduate conductors Brooke Farrar, Andrew Fresquez, and Jinzhe Zhang join faculty members Travis J. Cross and Justin McManus to conduct the program.

This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2025-26 Dobrow Series.

Acknowledgment

The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). As a land grant institution, we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.

We would also like to acknowledge the impact on our city and community of the recent wildfires and their aftermath. We believe that art and scholarship can provide comfort in times of great suffering.
