Music of Timothy Mahr Performed by MU's Concert Band & Wind Ensemble Tonight

Millersville University Concert Band & Wind Ensemble perform the music of Composer Dr. Timothy Mahr titled, "Artistry and Art Works" at the Winter Center located at 60 West Cottage Avenue in Millersville, PA tonight, April 17 at 7:30 pm. Mahr is a professor of music at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota and conductor of the St. Olaf Band. Mahr is perhaps best known for his compositions for concert band, including the highly descriptive tone poem "The Soaring Hawk" (1990), and "Endurance" (1991), which is based on Shackleton's attempt to reach the South Pole, commissioned by the American Bandmasters Association Commissioning Project.
