Associate Director of Bands Trey Harris and graduate student Joshua Chrisman join Cara Lieurance to preview two concerts this week featuring wind ensembles at Western Michigan University.

The second is a showcase for the Concert Band, University Symphonic Band, and WMU Wind Symphony, at 2 pm Sunday, Feb 16 in Miller Auditorium. Chrisman describes his experiences as a graduate student clarinetist, and Harris covers some of the unusual and varied repertoire on both concerts.
