The Symphonic Wind Ensemble kicks off the season with a program centered around Percy Grainger’s beloved masterwork Lincolnshire Posy. Celebrating the richness of song and ringing of (wedding) bells, the concert culminates with Viet Cuong’s John and Jim, a moving tribute to love and equality marking the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges.
