On Sunday, December 7th, the world premiere of Bruce Broughton’s Suspect Folktunes will be performed by the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony, conducted by Dr. Scott A. Stewart.

The Suspect Folktunes suite consists of five pieces that may or may not be based on actual folk songs. “Napoleon at Waterloo,” “The Girl on the Green,” “Olga on the Volga,” “The Memory Tree,” and “Many, Many Miles from Home” are all arranged in a style that calls particular attention to the tunes’ possible, if not likely, origins. Traditional or original, the suite is buoyantly and entertainingly melodic, and an enjoyable listen.
