The SUNY Fredonia Wind Ensemble will present its final concert of the year on Saturday, April 26.
The event, slated for 8 p.m. in Harry A. King Concert Hall at SUNY Fredonia, will feature the “American Overture” by Ralph Jenkins, “Promise of the Living” by Aaron Copland arranged by Kenneth Singleton, “Symphonies of Wind Instruments” by Igor Stravinsky, and “Hymn for the Innocent” by Julie Giroux. The concert will close with the epic “Winds of Nagual” by Michael Colgrass.
The Colgrass work is based on the writings of Carlos Castaneda who wrote the first three books of his series while a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The student music performing group recently received international recognition by the British Broadcasting Corporation, a fete rarely accomplished by a collegiate Wind Ensemble, noted Conductor Paula Holcomb.
The free concert is also offered on livestream via the School of Music website.
