SUMMARY:“Earthly Elements: The Building Blocks of Creation” Exhibit with Debra Bucci & Brian Evans
DESCRIPTION:Art in Bloom Gallery is excited to pair the creations of painter Debra Bucci and ceramicist Brian Evans in their elementally inspired exhibit. After surviving an action-packed year\, Debra’s newest acrylics uncover the “calm” in nature\, featuring rippling waters\, radiant light\, and abstract textures. Meanwhile\, Brian’s altered vessels emerge from nature’s fundamental building blocks. Formed from soft\, wheel thrown clay\, Brian’s glazes emulate the water erosion\, oxidation\, and scorched surfaces of nature. \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, September 21st\, 2-5pm for our Artist Reception. Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by jazz guitarist Roger Davis!

SUMMARY:U.S. Army Field Band and Chorus
DESCRIPTION:Experience a powerful performance of pride and precision as the United States Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus bring patriotic favorites and symphonic excellence to Kenan Auditorium\, free and open to all! \nThe Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus are the oldest and largest of The U.S. Army Field Band’s performing components. Founded in 1946 and 1957 respectively\, these two ensembles combine to present joint concerts on their national tours. They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions. \nThe 60-member Concert Band and 29-member Soldiers’ Chorus perform regularly in some of the most famous concert halls in the world\, and just as often in the humblest auditoriums in the smallest of communities. The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming\, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches\, jazz classics\, and Broadway musicals. The band and chorus also perform independently\, having recently shared the stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops\, the Cincinnati Pops\, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra\, and the National Symphony Orchestra. \nIn addition to their national tours\, formal concerts\, chamber recitals\, and educational outreach\, members of the Concert Band & Soldiers’ Chorus frequently represent the Army at formal and ceremonial functions\, including the Presidential Inaugural Parade\, presidential funerals\, the Army All-American Bowl\, and diplomatic efforts overseas.
