The Greater Miami Symphonic Band and Music Director Robert Longfield, along with guest conductor Jay Rees, invite you to join us for a “SPRING SPECTACULAR: Spirit of the People” Concert, on SUNDAY, MARCH 15th at 6PM at MAURICE GUSMAN CONCERT HALL, located on the campus of the University of Miami, at 1314 Miller Drive, Coral Gables, FL. Valet parking will be available. On-campus parking payable by phone or Pay Station near the Ring Theater next to Gusman Hall.

Celebrate an unforgettable evening of bold fanfares, beloved folk melodies, stirring patriotism, and triumphant grandeur! This dynamic program journeys across continents, centuries, and even the cosmos—beginning with brilliant festival energy, traveling through heartfelt songs of tradition and resilience, and rising to moments of breathtaking majesty.

Experience colorful folk tunes transformed into dazzling symphonic showpieces, dramatic music born from strength and victory, and noble processionals that shimmer with pageantry. The adventure continues skyward with uplifting harmonies, rustic dances from the English countryside, and a joyful finale so radiant and expansive it practically reaches the stars.

From earthbound traditions to celestial celebration, this is music that inspires, energizes, and leaves you walking out with a melody in your heart.
