Campus Connections: Featuring SPC Digital Media
Each year, the SPC Wind Ensembles present a Campus Connections Concert to promote collaboration and awareness. We seek out another department, learn what they do, theme our music around that topic, and present a concert featuring music and the happenings and opportunities of the collaborating department/program. Past connections concerts highlighted SPC Astronomy, Fine Arts, the SPC STEM Center, and Veterinary Technology.
This year, we feature the SPC Digital Media Program, which prepares students for a variety of media careers including video editors, camera operators, graphic designers, animators, web designers, digital photographers, and more.
Music Selection
The concert program includes the Gavornka Fanfare of Jack Stamp, Daydream of Timothy Mahr, and Bela Bartok’s Allegro Barbaro. We will also perform several video game themed selections, including works from the games Civilization VI, Shifters, Undertale, and Shadow of the Colossus.
The concert will include a moment of healing and reflection in light of current world events as well as a tribute to SPC Professor Shawn Thomas, with Frank Ticheli’s rendition of Amazing Grace.
Concert start time is 7:30 p.m. , Free admission for all, The Palladium of St. Petersburg College 253 5th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701
