UW-Superior’s Symphonic Band to perform ‘Inspired by America’ concert
SUPERIOR, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin-Superior Symphonic Band will perform its Inspired by America concert on Tuesday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Thorpe Langley Auditorium.
The program features works that depict American landmarks, such as the Cathedral Mountains in Texas and the Shenandoah Valley, and pieces composed or commissioned by American institutions and composers, including John Philip Sousa.

Tickets are $5 for adults and free for students. Thorpe Langley Auditorium is in Old Main, 1710 Weeks Ave. For questions or additional information, call (715) 394-8115 or email music@uwsuper.edu. Event link: https://uwsuper.edu/event/symphonic-band-concert-2026-03-03/
