The Wheaton College Symphonic Band strives for excellence in their performances of works for concert band written within the past century. Led by Dr. Brady McNeil, the WCSB is comprised of strictly woodwinds, brass, and percussion within their ensemble to create a sound unlike any other.

This program explores creation as an unfolding journey—from energy and emergence to identity, fracture, rest, and renewal. Featuring works by Saucedo, Navarro, Gillingham, Yagisawa, Sousa, and Whitacre alongside a new student composition reflecting the creation and fall of humanity, the concert traces how sound can mirror the processes that shape both the world and the human experience.
