Dr. Michael Golemo, conductor. The Iowa State Wind Ensemble will hold a 12-hour "Music Marathon" featuring solo musicians, chamber groups and jazz combos. The ISU Wind Ensemble will perform at 7:30 p.m.

"We are holding this event as a way for our students to raise money for our upcoming trip to Europe," said Michael Golemo, ISU director of bands. "Our students are soliciting pledges for this concert and they retain all of the money they are able to raise."

This is the fourth trip to Europe for the Wind Ensemble since 2003. Their May tour will include stops and performances in Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck in Austria and Rothenburg, Germany. Faculty soloists on the trip will include Sonja Giles, flute; Michael Giles, saxophone; and Donald Simonson, tenor.

There is no charge to attend the music marathon concert, although tax-deductible donations will be accepted.
