A SPECIAL MUSIC EVENT & RARE APPEARANCE! In this collaborative concert, School of Music students will play alongside the St. Omer Wind Orchestra from Northern France. This performance is part of an exchange program between St. Omer and the State of Maryland to celebrate 300 years of French-American history and culture.

Conducted by Philippe Le Meur, the St. Omer Wind Orchestra is composed of 72 members, both amateur and professional musicians, mostly coming from the local music academy. As St. Omer's "town band," it takes an important part in the local cultural life by playing in formal ceremonies or in more festive events and by offering concerts. This one is free.
