Symphonic Band
Come join the Fresno State Symphonic Band and the Opera Workshop for a trip back in time one hundred years! This unique performance is a historical recreation of a "concert in the park," back in the days of John Philip Sousa, George M. Cohan, Scott Joplin, and barber-shop quartets. The first half of the concert will feature the Symphonic Band performing period music and being joined by guest soloists. The second half of the evening will showcase the Opera workshop, in a performance of scenes from early 20th century American musical theatre. Look for appearances by rag-time musicians, barber shop quartets, and even street-corner "newsies" and carnival barkers to make your time travel experience complete!

Beaver-pelt coats, fedoras, and Victorian lace collars not required!
