The centerpiece features organist Sandy Todd on Jan Bosveld’s “Fantasy for Organ and Brass Band”. Other works that include organ are an opening concert fanfare commissioned by the band entitled “Hark, the Glad Sound”. Composer Eric Heukeshoven will move from the euphonium section to the organ for his composition. Heukeshoven will also be organist on the lovely “Swedish Hymn” and “The Lost Chord”, composed by Sir Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) arranged by Gordon Langford.

The concert is free and open to all. Donations will be accepted in support of the Winona Brass Band’s next decade. A reception will follow immediately after the concert in the adjacent Grace Hall. Visit the Winona Brass Band Facebook page for more information.
