The University of Michigan-Flint's Wind Symphony concert took place at the UM-Flint Theatre, Nov. 20. Conducted by Doug Burtch, assistant professor of music, the symphony features musicians from a diverse range of majors — from robotics and mechanical engineering to nursing and communications — performing alongside music and music education majors. The symphony performed "Tempered Steel" by Charles Rochester Young, a suite of English folk songs, "Riften Wed" by Julie Giroux, "Children's March" by Percy Aldridge Grainger, "The Old Boatman" by Florence Price, "Vanity Fair" by Percy Fletcher and "Citation March" by Claude T. Smith. The next Wind Symphony performance will be its spring concert, April 14, 2026.
