Banned Band Works: Colby Wind Ensemble, Eric Thomas, conductor

Further uncovering censorship, the Colby Wind Ensemble presents a program of music by composers whose works have been banned, including Shostakovich's Festive Overture, Hanns Eisler’s “Auferstanden aus Ruinen,” Aram Khachaturian’s Armenian Dances, and Richard Wagner’s “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral.” Another portion of the program features clarinet and saxaphone ensembles, with Asymmetric Miniatures from the Doukma Clarinet Ensemble and a work by prolific contemporary composer and saxophonist Barbara Thompson.
