Victorian Winter Concert set Jan. 11

11:14 a.m., Jan. 8, 2004--Newberry's Victorian Cornet Band presents UD’s second annual Victorian Winter Concert at 2:15 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 11, in the Loudis Recital Hall of the Amy E. du Pont Music Building. The band specializes in music from the post-Civil War period to the emergence of John Philip Sousa’s marching bands in the 1890s.

Conducted by Robert J. Streckfuss, professor of music at UD, the band features soloists Flora Newberry, cornet, and Nicole Aldrich Clouser, soprano/piano.

Newberry's Victorian Cornet Band, along with brass and vocal soloists, will present a typical indoor, winter concert from the 1880s. All the music on the program dates from this period and includes opera overtures, popular selections, marches, dance music and serenades. The group also performs on the same type of instruments used by Victorian-era town bands.

Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $3 for students. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance at the Trabant University Center or Bob Carpenter Center box offices.
