The Chamber Winds concert will feature Arthur Bird's "Serenade for Winds" and Gordon Jacob's "Old Wine in New Bottles." The Wind Ensemble will perform works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Vincent Persichetti, Clifton Williams, Felix Mendelssohn, and Percy Grainger. Both ensembles are under the direction of Dr. Thomas Stone.
