A Superb Wind Symphony and the Man Who Inspired It
This concert paid tribute to Dr. Paul Bryan (“PB,” as he’s affectionately known) on the occasion of his upcoming 100th birthday (the actual date is March 7). He was there, and he conducted the closing numbers. It’s clear that the Duke Wind Symphony is a first-class musical ensemble, in the mold of the finest collegiate groups with international reputations such as the Eastman Wind Ensemble or the University of Michigan Symphony Band. Conductor Dr. Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant is vivacious, energetic, and inspiring, with a baton technique to match. She was also the person who planned this concert, bringing over 100 alumni back to campus – former members from PB’s long tenure as conductor (1951-1988).
