Naples Concert Band’s March Concert in the Park

Concert goers are in for a real treat at the March 1 Concert in the Park. Mark Sanders and Heather Vichevich, both powerhouse singers, will present selections from the Broadway play “Carousel” and perform separate solos. Sanders will sing “When You Tell Me That You Love Me’ and Vichevich will sing “Memory” from Cats. FGCU student and NCB Scholarship winner, Logan Fischer, will also be featured in the Paul Dukas’ Fr. Horn solo “Villanelle”. Not to be outdone, the NCB Tuba Section will have some fun with a “tongue and cheek” arrangement of “Tiptoe through the Tubas”. Antonin Dvorak’s “Finale from the New World Symphony”, local composer Pasquale Spino’s “Sound Dramas”, Robert Buckley’s swing masterpiece “Jitterbug” and David Marshall’s “Big Fun in the Sun” round out this entertaining program. This concert is sponsored by Navigating Matters Home Services.
