Flathead Valley Community Band showcases Broadway hits
The Flathead Valley Community Band will take its audience through A Night on Broadway with its concert on March 19.
The band, directed by Allen Slater, will perform pieces from “The Sound of Music," composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Premiering on Broadway in 1959, the musical tells the story of Maria, a young nun who becomes a governess for the von Trapp family in Austria as the country faces the threat of Nazi occupation. The show is filled with some of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most iconic and timeless songs, including "Do-Re-Mi," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and the title song. The music evokes a sense of joy, hope, and love — universal themes that resonate deeply with audiences.
The band will also perform songs from “Les Misérables” composed by Claude-Michel Schönberg. “Les Misérables” has become one of the most beloved and enduring musicals since its premiere in 1980. This arrangement by Warren Barker takes the listener on a musical journey through several key moments from the show, featuring some of its most memorable and evocative songs.
