Date Correction - Sunday, Oct. 8

Kutztown, PA (10/03/2017) — The Kutztown University Wind Ensemble will present their annual fall concert on Sunday, Oct. 8, at 3 p.m. in Schaeffer Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. This year's concert, All the President's Men, will feature music written for U.S. presidents, about presidents, or by composers who share the same last name as U.S. presidents.

Kutztown University will welcome Dr. Mike Golemo, director of bands and professor of music at Iowa State University (ISU), as guest director. Golemo conducts the ISU Wind Ensemble, the top concert band at Iowa State.

A native of Chicago, he received his bachelor and master's degrees from Northwestern University where he studied conducting with John P. Paynter and saxophone with Frederick Hemke. He completed his doctorate in wind conducting at Michigan State University under Kenneth Bloomquist and John Whitwell. Golemo previously served as assistant director of bands at The University of Akron (Ohio), and prior to that as Director of Bands at Albion College (Mich.).

Sunday's concert program includes "Hail to the Chief," "Presidential Polonaise" by John Philip Sousa, "Fiesta Del Pacifico" by Roger Nixon, "God of Our Fathers" by both Claude Smith and Thomas Knox and Men of Ohio March by Henry Fillmore.

The Kutztown University Wind Ensemble is under the direction of Professor Dan Neuenschwander.
