Where the Legend Lives
Westchester Symphonic Winds (WSW) opens the second half of its 35th Anniversary Season on February 12, 2023 at 2 pm at the Tarrytown Music Hall. The first concert of the new year, “Lift Every Voice,” is a unique program of music for wind band highlighting new compositions by American composers.
Continuing the tradition of featuring guest artists, WSW welcomes soloists JoAnn Lamolino, trumpet, and Matt Bilyk, trombone, performing Fandango, by Joseph Turrin. Guest conductor David Blumental, artistic director of the Grand Street Community Band in Brooklyn, joins the group to conduct Stillwater by Kelijah Dunton. For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the apprentice conducting program returns with Jessica Stein-Natale conducting Pacifica, by Randall D. Standridge.
Celebrating its 35th anniversary, WSW highlights another milestone with its programming for the concert: the 50th anniversary of the publication of Sketches on a Tudor Psalm, by Fisher Tull. Other compositions featured on the program include works by Kevin Day, Jack Stamp, and Kelijah Dunton.
