The Cary Town Band
The Cary Town Band will present The Colors of Autumn on Friday, September 25 at 7:30 p.m. at Sertoma Amphitheatre in BondPark (for info call 919-469-4061). The band will play “colorful” music reminiscent of the colors of fall in Cary. Selections will include the March from Prokofiev’s “The Love of Three Oranges”, Blue Skirt Waltz, Blue Eyes Polka, Autumn Flowers Overture and In a Rose Garden Waltz. The full season will include seven concerts – one about every five weeks from September through May.
The Cary Town Band will take you back to turn of the 20th century bands led by Sousa, Goldman, and others who popularized band concerts all over America. Led by director Stuart Holoman and presenting concerts recreating that bygone era, the band plays marches from many nations, circus music, waltzes, rags, polkas, famous overtures, and other “pops” classical music of the 1860’s to 1920’s with the occasional modern fare.
