Kick off the holiday season with the Middlebury Community Wind Ensemble, conducted by Jerry Shedd and featuring special guest artists Francois Clemmons (narrator) and Mary Bisson (horn). This 40-member ensemble will present a broad range of wind ensemble repertoire, including the Vermont premieres of a work composed by Jerry Shedd and one arranged by fellow Midd Winder Jack Clay, with the program culminating in a beloved holiday classic. The cornerstone of the program is Aaron Copland's stirring homage to Abraham Lincoln and the American principles for which he stood during a challenging period of American history. We will also present the world premiere of a work written in memory of Lindi Bortney. Fun for all awaits!

Concerts are free - no tickets required
