The Santa Fe Winds will perform its annual “Spring Winds and Classics” concert on Thursday in Santa Fe College’s The Lyceum auditorium.
The concert will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Northwest Campus of SF (3000 NW 83rd St.) in The Lyceum in the renovated auditorium in Building E on the west side of campus.
Seating is limited to the free event and tickets are available by calling the SF Box Office at 352-395-4181 or visit Showpass online at showpass.com/spring-winds-and-classics.
“I invite people to come out for a joyful experience in the Lyceum, the home of the Santa Fe Winds,” said SF Associate Professor of Music and Band Director David L. Smith, in a press release. “You’ll hear some of the greatest pieces from the classical wind repertoire that feature students performing challenging selections in different styles.”
New selections on the program this year include “Fanfare and Flourishes,” written in 1991 by American tuba player James Curnow; “Nimrod” from “Enigma Variations” by English composer Edward Elgar, written between 1898-1899; and “March of the Belgian Paratroopers,” written during World War II by Belgian composer Pierre Leemans.
“For our students, there is nothing like the experience of performing in front of a live audience,” said Smith. “The reward for the audience is that you can take something with you when you leave, because music has the power to do what words cannot—change your mood, relieve stress and inspire you!”
“Spring Winds and Classics” is organized and sponsored by the Santa Fe College Fine Arts and Entertainment Technology Department.
