OXFORD — The North Texas Wind Symphony, conducted by Eugene Migliaro Corporon, will perform a free concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 7, at Hall Auditorium on the Oxford campus.

The North Texas Wind Symphony is acknowledged as one of the premier ensembles of its kind, selected from the most outstanding musicians attending the North Texas College of Music.

Known for its adventurous programming and commitment to American music, the ensemble pursues the highest professional standards and is determined to bring its audiences the finest artistic repertoire from all musical periods, cultures, and styles, according to information provided by the Miami University Department of Music.

The ensemble has been called a group in a class all its own that has the ability to handle complex materials with aplomb, to glitter and dazzle, and to drive with manic energy.

Corporon is Regents Professor of Music and director of wind studies at the University of North Texas. He is featured in recordings of over 600 works, including many premieres and commissions, and has appeared on two Grammy nomination ballots.

The program will include “Vanity Fair” by Percy Fletcher, “Medieval Variations” by Bruce Yurko, “Ecstatic Waters” by Steven Bryant, “Cathedrals” by Kathryn Salfelder, “Popcopy” by Scott McAllister and “Wildnights!” by Frank Ticheli.

The concert is sponsored by the department of music and the Performing Arts Series.
