KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University’s School of Music will present its fifth annual WMUsic Showcase Spectacular at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept 28, in Miller Auditorium.

About the showcase

Produced by Scott Boerma, the Director of Bands and conductor of the University Symphonic Band, this family-friendly event will showcase the polished ensemble playing and gifted individual talents of the students, faculty and ensembles in the School of Music.

The variety of musical offerings at WMU will be wound together into an uninterrupted montage of ever-changing sights and sounds, as a brass ensemble shifts to a woodwind consort, computer-generated sounds take a quantum leap to music from the 1600s, exotic percussion contrasts with delicate feminine voices and a tiny chamber ensemble grows to a gargantuan marching band.

WMU School of Music

Committed to the Arts, WMU's School of Music is dedicated to music as an art form that elevates the lives of all who experience it and that embraces and transcends the entire range of human emotion, expression and community that is vital to the cultural enrichment of society.
