The Danville Community Band presents its first concert of 2023 with a selection of tunes that are “Musicians’ Request” – tunes requested by members of the band. The performance will be at the Del Valle Theater in Walnut Creek, 1963 Tice Valley Blvd. (next to Rossmoor). The concert begins at 3:00PM.
Among the selections we’ll present are “A Tribute to Nino Rota,” composer of some of the most famous soundtracks ever written, both for the great Italian cinema and for Hollywood; a medley of tunes from Stephen Sondheim; “Vigil’s Keep”, a celebration of southern Life and tradition that includes melodies from the Wayfaring Stranger that spiritually weave through this inspiring tune; an original love song, “If Offered a Choice,” written by one of our band members; and Michael Giacchino’s rousing and dramatic “Symphonic Suite from Star Trek” from the 2009 blockbuster movie.
