Culture Crawl 363 “Big Week for the Muni Band”

The Cedar Rapids Municipal Band presents three different programs over the next week, repeating their June 27 concert Sunday afternoon at Noelridge, and following that up with a patriotic concert on July 4, and another new show on July 8. Director Steve Shanley tells Dennis that one concert will feature a new composition by the newest member of the UNI jazz staff, Michael Conrad, featuring his colleague, Anthony Williams, on trombone. Young Artist Competition winner Gus Brown performs also.

And as if that weren’t enough, Steve will also direct the North Corridor All-Star Big Band at the Iowa City Jazz Festival this Saturday afternoon at 1pm. Broadcast live on KCCK, of course.
