Quartet from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to welcome travelers at IND
Passengers at the Indianapolis International Airport (IND) will be treated to a live performance by a brass quartet from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday, October 2 from 4 – 5 p.m. The quartet will be comprised of trombonists Jim Beckel, Blake Schlabach, and Jared Rodin; and Tony Kniffen, tuba. Their performance will include “London Bridge is All Jazzed Up”, Gabrieli’s “Canzona per Sonare #2”, Serocki’s “Suita Na 4 Puzoni” and Bill Reichenbach’s arrangement of “Scarborough Faire,” among other selections.
IND’s Civic Plaza will provide a fitting backdrop for the performance, the second such visit from the ISO this year. A destination in its own right, Civic Plaza features pre-checkpoint shopping, dining and special entertainment events, with artwork and attractions that reflect the character and diversity of Indianapolis and the region. It also serves as the heart of the airport terminal; approximately 20,000 passengers per day pass en route to and from the airport’s concourses.
