TOPIC:  The American Band: What’s in a Name
and So Much More

Our guest speaker this month is Dr. Scott Lubaroff.

Dr. Lubaroff’s presentation The American Band: What’s in a Name and So Much More relates the fascinating history of the development and diversity of bands—marching bands, concert bands, military bands, dance bands, symphonic bands, jazz bands.  He will incorporate clips of music from these different bands.

Professor of Music and Director of Bands at the UCF, he conducts the award-winning Wind Ensemble and oversees four concert bands, chamber winds, the 400+ member Marching Knights, and the Jammin’ Knights Pep Band.  Under his direction many of these groups have made commercial recordings.

He is a performing musician, a composer, a widely sought-after conductor in the US and internationally, a teacher, and an author of articles and a book on the
neo-classical wind music of Igor Stravinsky.  He earned his DMA from Michigan State University, and MFA, MA, and BM degrees from the University of Iowa.  He has been the recipient of many awards, and at the University of Central Missouri (2005-17) received the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Education.  Dr. Lubaroff is a passionate advocate for the development of new music for mixed winds and for combined acoustic and electro-
acoustic instruments.  He is a member of many professional organizations and is a staunch defender of music education in America’s schools
