Music lovers, movie lovers and folks just looking for a great time are in for a treat next week at Nicholls.
The Nicholls State University bands will present the world premiere of Dr. Kimberly Archer’s ‘American Labor Songs’ – music from or inspired by James Bond, Adele and the Lord of the Rings.
This high-paced, fun-filled concert will take place on March 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mary and Al Danos Theater at Talbot Hall.
It will be performed by the Nicholls Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble.
Dr. Archer is an associate professor of composition at Southern Illinois and she will be in residence at Nicholls to work with the students the week of the concert to get them in sync.
“The work came about due to her founding of a union chapter at her institution with the financial help of Nicholls and a consortium of 10 university bands and musical groups from throughout the country,” said Dr. Jason Ladd, Symphonic Bands conductor, instructor of low brass and music education at Nicholls. “Her music has been performed at international conferences as well as by some of the best college bands in the United States.”
The concert is free and open to the public.
