Sunday, March 8 at 2 p.m. - Join the Marine Band for a program that promises to be as breathtaking as the northern lights, combining the works of chief Scandinavian composers and culminating in a fantastic array of musical brilliance that is equally as electrically charged. The concert will include works by Carl Nielsen, Edvard Grieg, and Magnus Lindberg, as well as Søren Hyldgaard’s Rapsodia Borealis featuring principal trombone Gunnery Sgt. Samuel Barlow. The program will also feature the winning march of the Marine Band’s 2014 Sousa’s March Mania tournament: the well-known work Entry March of the Boyares by Norway’s own Johan Halvorsen. The concert, which will be held at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center in Alexandria, Va., is free and no tickets are required.
