The Cedar Rapids Municipal Band opens its 2019 season with guest narrator Dennis Green, somewhat unaccustomed to being both subject and interviewer in this shows. It’s a stirring piece in observance of the 75th anniversary of D-Day called “The Greatest Generation.” But lest you think Muni Band director Steve Shanley is getting all sentimental, also on the program is a song entitled “R2D2 Meets The Pink Panther.”
This week’s concerts are June 5 at the New Bo Market, and June 9 at Bever Park. Next week will feature a prelude concert by the Cedar Rapids Youth Ensemble and Bill Carson of Coe College will conduct a hitherto unknown Percy Grainger that was discovered some years ago, forgotten in the Coe music library.
