Due to unavoidable circumstances, the Montclair Community Band has had to scramble to find a guest conductor for this Friday’s Spring Concert. They found not one, but two, among their own ranks. The show will go on! Don Warren, clarinet, and Darrell Frydlewicz, cornet, have both stepped up to the conductor’s podium. Both of these musician have played with the MCB for more than 20 years. Another longtime member, Frances Duffy, will be temporarily hanging up her trombone to play the harp solo in Night on the Bald Mountain in addition to a solo piece. Duffy is a professional harpist and a professional trombonist.
The program includes March: Celebration and Glory by James Swearington, Night on Bald Mountain by Modeste Moussorgsky, The Lion King by Elton John & Tim Rice,
