    Coast Guard Band offers free concert Sunday

    The United States Coast Guard Band will present a free concert titled "Everything Under the Moon“ at 2 p.m. Sunday in Leamy Hall at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London.

    New London NAACP Vice President Tamara Lanier will be the guest speaker, and Chief Warrant Officer Jeffrey Spenner will host a pre-concert talk from 1 to 1:30 p.m.

    The band, under the baton of Commander Adam Williamson, will perform a program that celebrates modern works by a diverse array of composers. The high-spirited “Fanfare Politeia” by Kimberly Archer opens the concert, followed by Sousa’s “The Gridiron Club March.” The soothing "Sleep and Repose: The Coming of Light” from Roshanne Etezady’s Anahita contrasts with Ginastera’s thrilling “Danza Final” from Estancia. Next on the program is a set of love songs by Steven Bryant and Antonín Dvořák featuring soprano Musician 1st Class Allison Landstedt. The concert comes to a jazzy, soulful conclusion with Kevin Day’s Concerto for Wind Ensemble.

    This event is free and open to the public. For more information on the United States Coast Guard Band, visit www.uscg.mil/Community/Band or call the Concert Information Line at (860) 701- 6826.
