The Quincy Concert Band will bring “Myths and Monsters” to the Morrison Theater inside at Quincy Junior High School on Nov. 2.
The Quincy Concert Band will explore darker imagery, legendary villains and fantastical creatures on Sunday, Nov. 2.
The band’s fall performance “Myths and Monsters” starts at 2:30 p.m. Quincy Junior High School’s Morrison Theater.
Pieces during the performance include selections from “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” as well as Andrew David Perkins’ “Horror Vacui,” John Mackey’s “This Cruel World” and Florent Schmitt’s “Dionysiaques.”
“We’ll step in the shadowy world of myth and legend, where monsters lurk and villains plot,” said Music Director Dr. Trent Hollinger.
The all-volunteer QCB features musicians from all walks of life. In 2019, the QCB received second place in the Community Band Division for the America Prize — the second time in four years. It also was a finalist in the Community Ensemble division of the American Prize’s Ernst Bacon Memorial Award for Performance of American Music.
There is no charge for admission. However, donations are accepted to help the band cover expenses. The program was made possible with a Community Endowment Funds grant through the Community Foundation Serving West Central Illinois and Northeast Missouri.
