Encore at the Hanifl Performing Arts Center

Home of the Lakeshore Players Theatre, the Hanifl Performing Arts Center is now open thanks to the White Bear Lake community and surrounding area. Although the center has been in existence for over 60 years, with the mission of providing community enrichment and education through the performing arts, this new state-of-the-art facility will make all the theatre and events more enjoyable than ever.

Percy Aldridge Grainger

Selections to be performed

Encore Wind Ensemble
Jerry Luckhardt, Conductor

This performance will be centered on the music of Percy Grainger. This Australian born composer left an indelible mark on band music in Europe and America. His innovative approaches to instrumentation and scoring propelled band repertoire equal in expression to the symphony orchestra. We honor Percy Grainger’s contribution to the wind band by performing several of his hallmark works, including Children’s March, Colonial Song, Country Gardens, Handel in the Strand, Irish Tune from County Derry, Lincolnshire Posy, Mock Morris, Molly on the Shore, The Immovable Do, Ye Banks and Braes O’Bonnie Doon, and Shepherd’s Hey.
