The final concert of the Cascade Winds 2023-2024 season is happening this weekend on Sunday, June 2nd, 2:00pm at the Summit High School Auditorium. As always, admission is free, although donations are gratefully appreciated to assist with the mission of the organization. Doors will open at 1:30.

The music on the concert is wide ranging, from William Walton’s “Crown Imperial”, a march that was written for the coronation ceremony of George VI, to Brooke Pierson’s “Cafe Blue”, a reverent tribute to the music and style of “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. In between, works that pay tribute to the 2000-year-old geoglyphs created by the Nazca people of Peru, a sixteenth century Korean naval  commander, and the rich cultural history of Mexican folk song will provide a diverse listening palate.

“This has been a terrific season of music making,” comments Cascade Winds conductor Michael Gesme. “The repertoire on this concert allows the ensemble to shine in so many ways, and I am looking forward to sharing it with our audience.”
