To close the Spring 2026 semester, the LSU Symphonic Winds will present a concert titled “A Strange Trip”. Opening with the pairing of Jennifer Jolley’s How to be a Deep Thinker in Los Angeles and Ivan Trevino’s Run to the Light, the concert will take the audience through an introspective musical journey. Graduate Conductor Carly McClendon joins the ensemble to lead Roy Magnuson’s In the room, great, and green. The concert then concludes with the consortium premiere of Katahj Copley’s Amerykhan Graffiti.
