The 30th season of the Quad City Wind Ensemble continues Sunday, February 28th at 3:00pm. The QCWE is conducted by Brian L. Hughes, 2015 winner of the American Prize in Wind Band Conducting (school and community division).
The Winter Concert: Musica Nova, consists entirely of music written by living composers and no piece predates 2001. The program will include music by Daniel Montoya, Jared Beau, David Maslanka, Rick Kirby, and QCWE favorite Julie Giroux. Also included will be the premiere performance of a work by Kenyon Wilson; QCWE was one of the commissioning groups of this memorial of the 2015 Chattanooga, Tennessee, shooting tragedy. The concert will immediately be followed by a reception with free refreshments and homemade treats. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and FREE for all students through 12th grade.
