The Austin Symphonic Band's second concert of the season is a stirring tribute to the World War II generation, featuring a selection of powerful pieces. From the rousing “Commando March” by Samuel Barber to the poignant “Lest We Forget” by Robert Jager, each composition captures the spirit and the emotions of an era marked by both tragedy and heroism. The concert is not just a performance but a commemoration of the end of the war, inviting the audience to reflect on the past while experiencing the timeless beauty of the music.
