LWU Concert Band to perform free concert Feb 25

By Duane Bonifer

Area residents can enjoy a mid-week musical break compliments of the Lindsey Wilson University Concert Band.

Under the direction of Lindsey Wilson Director of Bands Robert Palmer, the LWU Concert Band will present its first concert of the spring semester at 7pmCT on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, in Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY. The concert is free and open to the public.

This year's Lindsey Wilson Concert Band features students from several area high schools, including from Adair County, Hart County, Russell County and South Warren high schools.


"One of the reasons the Concert Band is so exciting to work with this year is because it features students from throughout our region," said Palmer, who is also a music professor at the university. "The Concert Band also includes students from nearly every school in the university, as well as from several sports teams and clubs. It is such a wonderful mix of students."

The Feb. 25 concert will feature several selections in full band, chamber winds and percussion ensemble formats. Pieces to be performed include "Amparito Roca," by Jaime Texidor; "The Water is Wide," arranged by Greg Danner; "Saturn: The Ringed Planet," by Rob Romeyn; "El Zape," by Gio Santos; and "Aftershock, "by Nathan Daughtrey.

Noah Mudd '27, a middle school history education major from Louisville, Kentucky, said he's excited about performing at the Feb. 25 concert because the pieces are challenging and fun to play.

Alyssa Stover '28 of Magnolia, Kentucky, said she thinks audience members will enjoy the diversity of the program's musical selections.

"I am very excited about our upcoming concert because the repertoire is intriguing to listeners while also being difficult enough to give us as an ensemble a challenge," said Stover, an elementary education major.
