Red River Wind Symphony brings “Fanfare” to Guinn

by Al Quartemont

Plenty of connections to LC at spring concert

They are called the Red River Wind Symphony. But, they have plenty of Louisiana College ties.

Thursday at Guinn Auditorium, the Symphony put on its spring concert, titled "Fanfare for the Uncommon Man."

The Symphony performed some high-power pieces under the conducting of Andrew Hunter, better-known around campus as an Instructor of Music and the Marching Band Director.

But, Hunter wasn't the only LC conductor. Music Education senior D. Keith Sanders also got to conduct during the performance of "Prelude, Siciliano, and Rondo" by Malcolm Arnold.

"It's a lot of fun," Hunter said about working with the Symphony. "We try to play too music that (the musicians) wouldn't have an opportunity to play."

Besides Hunter as conductor, and Sanders' involvement, the Symphony includes 13 other LC students. The rest is made up of people from the community, including a few professional musicians. But, most are amateurs and include high school music teachers, even high school students, all of whom volunteer their time to make the Symphony happen.

The musicians meet every Tuesday for two-hour practices. They usually perform fall, spring and Christmas concerts.
