Classics!

Join us for a breathtaking concert band performance! From the drama of von Suppe’s Light Cavalry Overture to the radiance of Daniel Montoya Jr.’s Shimmering Sky, this program is packed with power, poetry and passion. Feel the intensity of Julie Giroux’s Culloden and the power of Tschesnokoff‘s timeless Salvation is Created.

After a brief intermission, we march back with the charming Inglesina by Davide Delle Cese, followed by Holst’s monumental First Suite in E♭, a cornerstone of the wind band repertoire. To close the night, the sultry rhythms of Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2 will leave your heart dancing!
