You’ll be swept away by contemporary British composer Adam Gorb’s Awayday, Vaclav Nelhybel’s Festivo and the Savannah River Holiday of Ron Nelson.  Also setting the mood for fun will be Hector Berlioz’ Roman Carnival, Joaquin Turina’s La Procession du Rocio and En Route by former Minnesota band composer Joseph C. Hofmeister.  The organist at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, Bill Chouinard, will join MSW in a performance of conductor Timothy Mahr’s Fidelitas.

There is no admission charge. We are asking for a donation to cover concert costs.

St. Andrews Lutheran Church is located at 900 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi Mn.

The Minnesota Symphonic Winds will re-ignite a tradition of presenting an occasional joint concert with the renowned St. Olaf Band. The program will feature the music of Northfield composer Daniel Kallman, performed first by each ensemble and as a combined mass band. Major works include the engaging second movement of David Maslanka’s powerful Symphony No. 5, and the full Symphony No. 1 by Carl Holmquist, subtitled “A New Orleans Symphony” written during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
