Summer Fare Season Begins with a Scottish Accent
May 31, 2016
— “The President’s Own” U.S. Marine Band will launch its Summer Fare season at 8 p.m., Wednesday, June 1 and Thursday, June 2 with concerts that will take patrons to a galaxy far, far away with the March of the Resistance from Star Wars: The Force Awakens by John Williams. Conducted by Assistant Director 1st Lt. Ryan J. Nowlin, the program also has a distinctly Scottish accent with selections such as Percy Grainger’s “Ye Banks and Braes o’ Bonnie Doon,” Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s “The Heather on the Hill” from Brigadoon, sung by mezzo-soprano Gunnery Sgt. Sara Sheffield, and John Hartmann’s cornet solo, “Blue Bells of Scotland.”

2016 Chamber Music Series Concludes with the Music of Paganini and Schumann
May 16, 2016
— The Spring 2016 Chamber Music Series will conclude with an all-string performance at 2 p.m., Sunday, May 22 at the John Philip Sousa Band Hall in southeast Washington, D.C. Viola player Gunnery Sgt. Tam Tran, who coordinated and programmed the concert, was inspired by the inevitable influence composers have on each other. “I didn’t have the intention to program music that would be closely connected, but the 12-tone serialism of Arnold Schoenberg influenced several of Arvo Pärt’s compositions,” he explained. “The performing pyrotechnics of Niccolò Paganini inspired so many musicians and composers, including Robert Schumann. I also couldn’t help but wonder: are the arpeggios that begin Paganini’s Caprice No. 1 musical material that may have inspired the beginning of Arvo Pärt’s Fratres for violin and piano?”

Marine Band Assistant Director to Guest Conduct at the University of New Hampshire
May 4, 2016
— On the heels of a successful Young People’s Concert, Assistant Director 1st Lt. Ryan J. Nowlin once again returns to his music education roots as the guest clinician and composer for the University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) Wind Band Invitational on May 4, 2016. Dr. Andrew Boysen, the UNH conducting professor and director of the Wind Symphony initiated this non-competitive event where seven high school bands will receive a 45-minute clinic from Boysen and a 40-minute clinic from Nowlin. “All the bands will be performing my music,” Nowlin explained. “Dr. Boysen builds the invitational around composers, so the visiting high school bands will each be playing something of mine.” The idea is that working with an actual composer on his own music will strengthen the experience for the students.
