Lucky for us, Bob also composes and arranges an array of music for symphonic wind band that is performed worldwide.
The program on May 22 will also include theme music from favourites like Star Wars, Doctor Who, How To Train Your Dragon, Star Trek, James Bond, and more! And for your viewing pleasure, Stelly's Secondary School Media Class is creating accompanying visuals.
Meridiem hopes to draw music lovers from across the CRD, as well as band and music students from across all local school districts to hear an exemplary performance of wind orchestra works both familiar and new.
The program will be conducted by Meridiem's Artistic Director, Scott MacInnes, as well as two guest conductors - Dr. Steven Capaldo, director of the University of Victoria Wind Symphony; and local school teacher who you'll also find in Meridiem's clarinet section, Andrea Blair.
