Experience the power, color, and character of the wind band in Wind Symphony: Wind Band Classics, conducted by Dr. Christopher Morehouse. This dynamic program brings together landmark works and spirited discoveries that showcase the remarkable range of the wind symphony.

From the grandeur of J.S. Bach’s Fantasia in G Major to the vivid coastal imagery of Catherine McMichael’s Cape Breton Postcard, the program moves through the bold rhythms and distinctive voices of Vincent Persichetti’s Pageant, Charles Ives’ Americana-inspired Old Home Days, and John Philip Sousa’s celebrated march El Capitan.

With music spanning centuries and styles, Wind Symphony: Wind Band Classics celebrates the richness of the wind band tradition, from powerful orchestral transcriptions to quintessential American works.
