Symphonic Band

Cory Near, Visiting Assistant Professor of Music

Symphonic Band is a newly formed ensemble open to all students on campus. Membership in the ensemble does require a chair-placement assessment, which will occur at the beginning of the semester. In addition to a Family Weekend performance, the Symphonic Band enjoys regular concerts and special performances throughout the academic year.

The inaugural Luther College Symphonic Band is directed by Cory Near.
