DCWE with Arturo Marquez
Performance
Winter 2026

Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble

featuring a World Premiere by Arturo Márquez
February 13, 2026

Led by Director Brian Messier, the ensemble is joined by guest conductor Luis Manuel Sánchez and student artists from UNAM to premiere a Hop-commissioned symphony for band by the preeminent Mexican composer.

They also perform Hop commissions and works by Mexican composers, including the world premiere of Antrópolis by Gabriela Ortiz with a new arrangement by Messier, featuring Amy Garapic on timpani. They also premiere Concertino for Harp and Wind Ensemble by Omar Arrellano Osorio and perform a piece by Eduardo Gamboa.

In a landmark creative partnership, the Hop is leading a commission for a new work by Márquez, with many universities and institutions contributing to its creation as consortium partners. In addition, Dartmouth will be commissioning and creating a platform for the winner of the annual Márquez competition.

Funded in part by the Deborah E. & Arthur E. Allen Jr. 1932 Fund and the Richard F. Mattern 1970 Fund.

Part of the Mexican Repertoire Initiative at Dartmouth.
