Commission Project Honoring Professor Kathy Campbell
Liberalitatis Celebranda
On April 13, 2024, the Westmoreland Symphonic Winds performed a commissioned piece of music from the world renowned wind composer, Dr. Timothy Mahr, “Liberalitatis Celebranda.”
Dr. Mahr's work was written in tribute to someone very special to our ensemble, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ University Professor Kathy Campbell who was the founding conductor of WSW in 1986 and who just completed her 40th year of service to the University before her retirement. The commission was a marvelous, timeless piece written in honor of this extraordinary milestone. The piece captured the elegance, energy, and optimism that Professor Campbell brought to ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ each and every day.
