Experience the world premiere of "Concerto for Wind Ensemble," a new composition by Iowa State's director of bands, Dr. Michael Golemo. Commissioned by University Museums in honor of Beverly and Warren Madden, the dynamic concerto is inspired by nationally recognized artist Beth Lipman's creative outputs—including the newest sculpture in the Art on Campus Collection, Hive Mind. A sonically colorful performance by the ISU Wind Ensemble will feature unique instrumentation and visual delights. Audience members will have the opportunity to experience how physical matter is expressed through music, in three movements. Beth Lipman is expected to be in attendance for this free performance. The concert marks the final evening of her exhibition Beth Lipman: Middle of the Story at the Christian Petersen Art Museum. The exhibition may be viewed before the performance begins, with museum hours of 6 – 7:30 p.m. that evening. Martha Ellen Tye Recital Hall Simon Estes Music Hall
