The Chancellor's Annual Concert will be held Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. in B.N. Duke Auditorium. This is the seventh concert of the annual series to honor North Carolina Central University’s Chief Administrative Officer. This year, the Band Program will be honoring NCCU’s tenth Chancellor, Charlie Nelms. The concert will also premiere the commissioned composition “Rhapsody on the Sounds of Earth” inspired by the installation theme “Preparing Students to Lead in a Global Society” and the university’s global mission.

The concert will highlight music of composers from all over the world. This formal concert will feature the sounds of the Symphonic Band under the direction of Samuel Rowley and the North Carolina Central University Wind Symphony under the direction of Jorim Reid. An encore presentation of “The Eyes of an Eagle,” composed for the Chancellor’s installation ceremony in February, will also be performed.

In addition, we will be honoring several individuals and groups that have reached out to assist the band program after the theft of the instruments.

This event is free and open to the university community and the public.
