Evoking the world of Slavic folk music, Dvořák's Serenade for Winds is painted with the colors of an autumn landscape. The warmth of the final days of fall blends with glowing harmonies in a musical stroll through woodlands every New Englander holds dear. Charles Gounod's sparkling La Petite Symphonie was written for a gathering of musical friends and remains one of the gems of the wind ensemble repertoire. Filled with memorable melodies, charm, and grace, this intimate program offers an afternoon of remembrance, beauty, and delight.
