RICHMOND, Ky. — Eastern Kentucky University’s Wind Ensemble and Concert Band will take the stage Tuesday, March 3, with a 7:30 p.m. concert at the EKU Center for the Arts in Richmond. The university lists the performance as free and open to all ages.
For Berea listeners, this is the kind of low-effort weeknight concert that still feels like a full program. You get two different ensembles in one evening:
- The Wind Ensemble: Billed by EKU as the university’s most advanced group for winds and percussion.
- The Concert Band: Described as a non-auditioned ensemble that includes both music majors and non-music majors.
🎶 What to Expect on the Program
EKU Bands has been promoting the March 3 date as its first performance of the spring semester. While a full program has not been released, recent social media posts from the department have shared clips tied to Kim Archer’s Symphony No. 3, suggesting that the major work will be a centerpiece of the evening.
Dr. Rebekah Daniel, EKU’s Director of Bands, is listed as the primary point of contact for the event.
