| Details | Yale Concert Band, Thomas C. Duffy, Music Director. Works by Thomas C. Duffy, composer, and Director of Yale University Bands since 1982, celebrating his 40th year at Yale University. Feat. George Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” and Duffy’s “A Parisian in America,” “Frozen Flames March,” “Crystals,” “Century Shouts,” “To the Horizon,” “And Flights of Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest,” and Duffy’s transcription of Alan Hovhaness’ “Fantasy on Japanese Woodprints,” Alex Wynn TD ’22, marimba. Also featuring the premiere of “Broken Circle” by James Brandfonbrener ’22. In his 40 years at Yale, Duffy has combined his talents as a conductor and composer to weave the Yale Bands into the fabric of the New Haven Public Schools; regional, state, and national music education programs and conferences; and the world, through 19 international tours with the Yale Bands. The Grove Dictionary of American Music cites Duffy’s music: “His compositions have introduced a generation of school musicians to aleatory; the integration of spoken/sung words and ‘body rhythms’ with instrumental performance; and the pairing of music with political, social, historical, and scientific themes.” Open to asymptomatic patrons with an up to date vaccination status. “Up to date” means a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines for their age range, including any booster dose(s) when eligible.
