Join the Rouge River Winds and music director Pratik Gandhi for a concert that celebrates excellence in wind band music. The program will feature not only standards such as Percy Grainger’s masterful “Children’s March”, Timothy Mahr’s breakout composition, “Fantasia in G”, and Frank Ticheli’s sublime setting of “Amazing Grace”, but also fresh new works from Canadian composers Jonathan Dagenais and Kristie Hunter.

Transformations
The program will include works that transform their source material. Some, like “Fall Fair” from Canadian composer Godfrey Ridout, are pieces not originally for wind band; meanwhile, Holst’s First Suite in E-flat is a masterful exploration of an original melody; there will also be a few surprises! The concert will also feature Brian McAuley, who will perform Michael Mikulka’s Concerto for Trumpet and Wind Ensemble.
