Thank you so much to composer Brittany J. Green for joining the Wind Ensemble in our dress rehearsal on Wednesday! It was a wonderful experience to work with Brittany as we prepare to perform her piece, To Feel the Winds of Heaven, in our final concert of the year! This will be one of the consortium premieres (among other NC schools), and you won’t want to miss it!

Come hear this, and much more on Sunday afternoon at 3pm in Brendle Recital Hall! … See MoreSee Less
