Saturday, May 9, 2026 - 2:00 pm - Main Auditorium

The Ann Arbor Concert Band concludes our 47th concert season with “Favorites 2.0”. The afternoon will be filled with some of our favorite band and wind ensemble repertoire! “Festive Overture” by Dmitri Shostakovich, “Symphony in B-flat” by Paul Hindemith, Gordon Jacob’s “Original Suite”, “Lincolnshire Posy” by Percy Grainger, Vincent Persichetti’s “Pageant” and more! We welcome solo clarinetist Benjamin Huang, our 2026 Andrew J. Lum and David R. Juillet Young Artist Scholarship Competition Winner, from Ann Arbor Skyline High School, performing “Rondo” from Carl Maria von Weber’s “Clarinet Concerto No. 1”. We are also proud to premiere “Kaufman’s Cove” by Andrew David Perkins, a piece commissioned by a Consortium of band directors to honor Mike Kaufman, in recognition of his contributions to and establishment of excellence in the Grand Ledge High School Band program.

                            Join us for this memorable afternoon of great music!
