The Concord Band, pictured
here in concert at historic Faneuil Hall,
begins the celebration
of its 50th Anniversary Season with three
of the
things
that have made it so special over the first half-century:
an internationally renowned guest conductor,
the world
premiere of a new piece for band,
and a reprise of one
of the Band's favorite commissioned pieces.
