The Mercer County Symphonic Band will present its annual Spring Concert on Wednesday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m. at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC) Kelsey Theatre. The theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Admission is free.

The performance presents a variety of music with transcriptions from works by three Soviet composers, including “The Firebird Suite” by Stravinsky, “The Comedians’ Gallop” by Kabalevsky and the “Sabre Dance” by Khachaturian. In contrast, the band will perform marches made famous in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and selections from Spanish composers harkening back to the sounds of matadors and romance. Added drama will be highlighted by the 19th-century “Poet and Peasant Overture.”
