Five School of Music alumni, all members of America's premiere military bands based in Washington, D.C., will perform a Veterans Day concert on Friday, Nov. 11, at 8 p.m. in Morse Recital Hall in Sprague Memorial Hall, corner of College and Wall streets.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, will include works by Etler, Monteverdi, Ives and Lutoslawski, among others. Earlier in the day, at noon, the group will play the national anthem at Yale's Veterans Day ceremonies (see related story).
The performers will be:
