NEGAUNEE — Next week, the Negaunee City Band will be led by guest conductor, Ben Zindler, Ishpeming Public Schools band director. The evening will also feature an antique marching glockenspiel that the band will present on permanent loan to the Negaunee Historical Society.

Wednesday’s (June 24) concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Outdoor Performing Arts Center at the east end of Iron Street. The opening number is “Liberty Fleet March” by legendary bandmaster and composer Karl King.

The program includes a number of medleys. “British Isles Suite” has several familiar folk tunes, including “March for the Men of Harlech,” “Barbara Allen,” and “Auld Lang Syne.” “The Magic of Andrew Lloyd Weber” presents an outstanding collage of music including “Superstar,” “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” “Memory,” and “The Phantom of the Opera.”

Other medleys are “Swing’s the Thing” with “Night Train,” “I’ve Heard That Song Before,” and “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” and the Latin-American “Rumba Land” with “Peanut Vendor,” “African Lament” and several other famous rumba melodies. “Swing’s the Thing” is a snazzy, jazzy original written in the style of familiar favorites.

Several numbers are rather unusual. “Blue and Green Music” was inspired by a famous painting by Georgia O’Keeffe with the same name. “Lament and Tribal Dance” is a unique work with plaintive melody shifting to a rhythmic dance and then driving percussion with exotic sounds involving rain sticks and shakers.

The concert will conclude, as always, with “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”
