Wind Ensemble Concert

Though COVID has raised multiple challenges with regular activities, the Calvin Bands are still going strong with in-person music-making and are especially grateful to be indoors. This semester has been all about making creative adjustments, a reality that will be reflected in Wind Ensemble’s fall program themed “Adaptations.” The program features works that have been modified for our current conditions: Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Folk Song Suite, Bernard Rogers’ Three Japanese Dances, Felix Mendelssohn’s Overture for Winds, and John Mackey’s Strange Humors. We’ll also include a few selections by J.S. Bach that have been adapted by gifted composers Percy Grainger and Gustav Holst.
