let tHEiR voice be heard serves as the unifying theme of the 2018-2019 season for the Murray State Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra. As in years past, both groups will open their seasons at the annual Fall Fanfare Concert in Lovett Auditorium. Each ensemble takes a different path as we showcase female composers, female performers, our own faculty, African-American composers both new and old, as well as composers across the globe. Join us are Our New Day Begins.
