Celebrate Moms! (and Dads!)

The winds played this concert on Mother's day of 2011 as the Winds celebrate Moms (and Dads). The concert took place in the parish hall of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Fayetteville and featured Winds Clarinetist Deborah Shaw on the Weber Concertino for Clarinet and Band.

The concert also featured the piece Serenade written by Derek Bourgeois for his own wedding as guests left the ceremony. " Not wishing to allow them the luxury of proceeding in an orderly 2/4, the composer wrote the work in 11/8, and in case anyone felt too comfortable, he changed it to 13/8 in the middle! The work has now been released in a number of different orchestrations of the original version for organ."
