A composition inspired by the Escanaba city band

As a regular guest of the Escanaba city band,  I have felt compelled to compose a new piece for this important group.  This piece draws upon the history of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan  to express a musical tradition that goes back through the centuries, and brings together the many cultures of that has called this area home.  The money from this fundraiser will go toward offsetting the cost of music printing, travel and lodging for the composer's visit and premier of "Escanaba That's my Home".  To be performed in August of 2019.
