The Cal Poly Humboldt Wind Ensemble will perform Monday evening programming at Fulkerson Recital Hall as part of a departmental presentation by the Department of Dance, Music, and Theatre. The concert is scheduled for December 7 at 7 30 p m and will include Alfred Reed's A Festival Prelude alongside selections that celebrate sea songs and pieces chosen to explore musical conversation under the direction of Chris Cox.
Tickets are priced to encourage broad attendance, with general admission at fifteen dollars, children's admission at five dollars, and free entry for Humboldt students with valid identification. Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at tickets.humboldt.edu by checking the event listing. The pricing structure and student free admission remove common barriers to participation and support campus community access to live performance.
The program's emphasis on sea songs connects to regional cultural threads in Humboldt County where maritime history and coastal identity shape local culture and public life. Presenting repertoire that foregrounds musical dialogue offers educational value for student musicians and audiences alike, reinforcing the college's role in arts education and community engagement. The performance provides an opportunity for local residents to attend a campus arts event without a high cost barrier, and for students to participate as performers and audience members as part of their academic and civic lives.
Beyond immediate entertainment, events such as this contribute to a visible public arts calendar that supports downtown and campus activity, bolsters cultural literacy, and creates hands on learning for music students. The Department of Dance, Music, and Theatre continues to program accessible performances that spotlight student participation and faculty leadership in the arts. Community members planning to attend should bring valid student identification if applicable and check the online event listing for any last minute updates.
