- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Step into a sonic treasure chest as the Austin Symphonic Band presents “Little Gems for Concert Band” — a dazzling showcase of compact pieces that sparkle with character and charm.

The program opens with Bonelli’s Symphonic Concert March, a bold and spirited overture that sets the tone for an afternoon of musical variety. From the wistful lyricism of Autumn Leaves by Kosma to the quirky elegance of Satie’s Ratatouille Satirique, the first half dances between nostalgia and satire. Grainger’s Themes from “Green Bushes” rounds out the set with a lively folk-inspired romp.

After intermission, the mood shifts to introspection with Alex Shapiro’s Moment, a hauntingly beautiful work blending wind textures with ambient soundscapes. The centerpiece of the second half is the world premiere of a new work by Young Composers’ Contest winner Viskamol Chaiwanichsiri, promising new perspectives and creativity. The concert concludes with Alfred Reed’s Second Suite for Band, a vibrant four-movement celebration of rhythms and melodies.

From classic marches to modern meditations, this concert is a jewel box of musical delights — each piece a Little Gem.
