POTSDAM -- Three composers with ties to the Crane School of Music will have compositions featured at Potsdam Community Band’s Summer Festival performance on Friday, July 10 in Ives Park.
The band will perform the “Madstop Two-Step” by Arthur Frackenpohl, “Far East Fantasy” by Robert Washburn and “Gaelic Rhapsody” by Elliot Del Borgo.
All three had lengthy teaching careers at Crane.
Frackenpohl lives in Potsdam, while both Washburn and Del Borgo died in 2013.
Other works on the Community Band program include Gustav Holst’s “Moorside March,” “Smokey Joe’s Café,” a medley of tunes by song writing duo of Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, the traditional American march tune “On the Mall” by Edwin Goldman, “Solas Ane” by Samuel Hazo, and Herbert Clarke’s “Carnival of Venice,” featuring cornet soloist James Madeja.
Theresa Witmer directs the band.
The concert is free and open to the public, however the group’s “donation tuba” will be on hand.
Donations help the band cover music purchases, licensing, insurance and other operational expenses.
