Lewisville Grand Theater | Metropolitan Winds – “A Whale of a Band Concert”

For more than 30 years, The Metropolitan Winds has sought to promote the Arts through regular performances of great literature for wind bands in DFW. These performances help to enrich, educate, and entertain the public, while providing musicians from throughout the Dallas Metroplex the opportunity to perform in an ensemble that demands the highest level of ability and musicianship.

The program for the concert on Sept. 14 will focus on the sea, with pieces written to emulate the softness to the mighty power of the waves, and the experiences one might encounter while at sea. The concert will include original works written for wind band as well as marches and orchestral transcriptions. “Whaling Songs”, a suite composed by Met Winds member, Bret Newton, will be a world premiere. Other selections include HOOK by John Williams, “Sailing with Whales”, by Rossano Galante, “Sea Songs” by Ralph Vaughn Williams, and several marches. The program is designed to be appealing and inviting to all.

This is a free concert.

This program is sponsored in part by a City of Lewisville Arts Project Grant.
