Middlebury Wind Ensemble Concert

Kick off the holiday season with the Middlebury Community Wind Ensemble, conducted by Jerry Shedd and featuring special guest artists Francois Clemmons (narrator) and Mary Bisson (horn). This 40-member ensemble will present a broad range of wind ensemble repertoire, including the Vermont premieres of a work composed by Jerry Shedd and one arranged by fellow Midd Winder Jack Clay, with the program culminating in a beloved holiday classic. The cornerstone of the program is Aaron Copland’s stirring homage to Abraham Lincoln and the American principles for which he stood during a challenging period of American history. We will also present the world premier of a work written in memory of Lindi Bortney. Fun for all awaits!
