Concordia Santa Fe’s Wind Orchestra presents its second concert of 2024 at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 9 at the New Mexico Museum of Art in the St. Francis Auditorium.

Under the direction of Dr. Emily Moss, Director of Bands at the University of New Mexico, the 40-member ensemble will perform works by Aaron Copland, Paul Dooley, David Gillingham, H. Owen Reed, Kathryn Salfelder and Viet Cuong.

The Wind Orchestra was founded in 2007 to provide high-caliber wind-centric musical exposure to audiences in northern New Mexico.

The music format focuses on the performance of contemporary – and traditional – works of wind orchestra literature. And the programs are quite varied and can include period American and non-American pieces involving strings, voice and a variety of keyboards. 

As one of only a handful of professional-level wind orchestras in the country, Concordia Santa Fe’s Wind Orchestra offers local and regional audiences the opportunity to experience music very few people can access.

Admission is free, with donations gratefully accepted at the door.
