AB Community Band: Poetry in Motion concert

The Acton-Boxborough Community Band will present a concert based on the theme “Poetry in Motion” on Thursday, May 15, 2025 in the R. J. Grey School Auditorium.  The 7pm concert is free and open to the public.

Always delivering audience-friendly shows based on themes, this concert features music inspired by poetry.  “Korobushka” is based on an energetic Russian story about a traveling salesman.  Other works include von Suppe’s “Poet and Peasant Overture,” “Der Erlkonig” based on Goethe’s gothic poem and the world premiere of Rigda Vacadi’s “Reflections on Four Latvian Poets.”  Of course, the band will also perform Johnny Tillotson’s “Poetry in Motion!”
