STEPHENVILLE, Texas — David Maslanka’s epic “Symphony No. 4” will be featured in Tarleton State University’s Wind Ensemble concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 25, in the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Auditorium.

Written in 1993, the 30-minute piece is intended by the composer to be a “spontaneous rise of the impulse to shout for the joy of life.”

The concert will also highlight the winner of the 2024 Concerto Competition, Marco Hernandez-Leal, on Alexander Arutiunian’s “Concerto for Trumpet.” Marco is a senior music performance major from Hurst and a student of Dr. Brian Walker.

Other selections include “Clutch.” by Andrew David Perkins and “Toccata Marziale” by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Admission is $5 or free with a Tarleton State ID.
