WPI Music Ensembles at Mechanics Hall

A celebration of the legacy of Dr. Robert H. Goddard – the first person to launch the world’s first liquid-propelled rocket.

WPI Music Division presents a centennial celebration of Robert Goddard’s rocket launch, featuring WPI Bands, Choirs, Orchestra, and Jazz. The event culminates with two premieres; Gregory Brown’s dedication “To Fly Without Wings” and another by David Ibbett, assistant teaching professor in the Department of Humanities and Arts.  Music from Holst’s Planets will also be featured, performing his Jupiter by over 200 student musicians.
