A travel itinerary that includes a musical journey to France, Scandinavia, Central America, the British Isles, Spain, perhaps a few stops in America and an intergalactic journey will be available to those attending the Maine Pops Concert Band’s 2025 Spring Concert.

“Let’s Travel,” a 90-minute adventure in music will occur on Sunday, April 27 at the Winslow Homer Center for the Arts, located within Scarborough High School at 11 Municipal Drive in Scarborough, Maine. The musical adventure will begin at 2:30 p.m., with doors opening at 2:00 p.m.

To provide a wide view of musical cultures, Maine Pops Director David Watts has selected a variety of compositions for performance. “I had a lot of fun choosing the repertoire for this concert,” said Watts. He said two pieces form the core – Finlandia and An American in Paris — have become standards for symphonic bands.

In addition to Finlandia and George Gershwin’s An American in Paris, the spring concert will feature music ranging from marches, a pair of classical works and a symphonic movie suite. These works include compositions by Brian Balmages; Michael Giacchino, Alexander Courage, and Gene Roddenberry; Ballard McDonald and James F. Hanley; Robert Sheldon; Dmitri Shostakovich; John Philip Sousa, and Carl Strommen
