Carbondale Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.
The Southern Illinois Symphony (SISO), along with the Carbondale Community High School (CCHS) and the Carterville High School (CHS) Band programs and their directors, Edward Benyas, Greg Townsend and Andrew Nash, present a concert by the Bavarian Youth Band, Jungendblasorchester Bibertal (JBO) on Wednesday, August 21 at 7:30 pm at Shryock Auditorium on the SIU Carbondale campus. Admission is free.
The appearance of these 50 European musicians, ages 14 to 30, is part of JBO’s 12-day tour through Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, and is in collaboration with the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp International Exchange Program.
The tour helps promote socio-cultural exchange and fosters new contacts between the youth of both countries. The wind band, under the direction of Hermann Taubenheim, will perform selections from several popular films, including The Greatest Showman, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Rock, and a medley from Adele’s 21 album.
The JBO Bibertal musicians will enjoy three days in Southern Illinois, while being generously hosted by 26 different Southern Illinois families, with connections to either the SISO, CCHS or CHS.
