The ensemble will then also be joined by Adjunct Professor of Voice Jennifer Hondorp for selections from the “Phantom of the Opera” (1986) and “Les Misérables” (1980).

The band will also perform the pieces “Mambo” from “West Side Story” (1957) and “A Simple Song” from “The Mass” (1971), both composed by Leonard Bernstein.

The concert will conclude with selections from the 1978 TV Musical “The Wiz.”
