Cascade Winds Concert
Sunday, 11/24/2019 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Summit High School auditorium
COCC’s Symphonic Band to cover marches, Gershwin
The Cascade Winds Symphonic Band, a group sponsored by Central Oregon Community College,
will present the opening concert of its 2019-20 season at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24,
at the Summit High School auditorium. Admission is free.
The concert includes a work by composer Ryan Nowlin, two non-traditional (non-Sousa)
marches – “Little English Girl March” by D. Delle Cese and Jerry Bilik’s “Block M
Concert March” – and a composition titled “Tanczi” by noted Belgian composer Jan Van
der Roost.
The final piece of the concert is a transcription, by Marco Tamanini, of George Gershwin’s
timeless classic, “An American in Paris,” a composition meant to capture the sights
and sounds of a visitor exploring the French city. “It’s a tour de force for the concert
band and will certainly delight listeners of all ages,” said Michael Gesme, conductor
of Cascade Winds.
