Wind Symphony II to Perform Lincoln Score

The University Wind Symphony II will play music from the Steven Spielberg film “Lincoln” at 8 p.m. Nov. 20 in Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.

Under the direction of Thomas Trimborn, the Wind Symphony II will perform many songs from the Academy Award nominated soundtrack, composed by John Williams.
