Concert Band

The Keene State College Concert Band invites you to join us at the first concert in this year’s Music of Social Justice Series, “Roots.” This concert is an exploration of the music of the African Diaspora in the Americas and features special guest artists Bente Illevold (euphonium) and Jasmine "Jazzie" Pigott (tuba).

This concert, the first of two socially minded programs for the KSC Concert Band this semester, explores the music of the African Diaspora. The Concert Band has spent this semester immersing ourselves in the ongoing work of understanding and learning from 400 years of Black migration, Black history, and Black excellence to improve the present and future for all people. As part of that mission, we're delighted to give the World Premiere of Jasmine Pigott’s "Roots Torn, Routes Chosen: A Story of Black Migration."

This event is part of the RAC Music Department calendar and is open to the public.
