It’s time for the annual Veterans Day concert from the Richmond Pops Band, honoring all who have served in America’s Armed Forces. The evening of wind band music will take place on Tuesday, November 11th at 7:30pm in the Altria Theatre. Led by conductor Earl Shaffer, the band will be joined by numerous local musicians in a program of patriotic music. Soloists will include vocalist Gia Qazi and bagpiper Skip Choate, with guest conductors Steve Conley and Stephen Cherry.
I had the opportunity to catch up with Earl Shaffer during my Wind Ensemble Wednesday hour for a preview of this exciting concert. You can find out more and reserve tickets on their website.
Yours in good music,
Mike Goldberg
Classical Host, VPM Music
