The SUNY Fredonia Wind Ensemble will give its final performance of the academic year on Wednesday, April 30 at 8 p.m. in King Concert Hall. The event is free and open to the public.

"These amazing musicians will take you from minimalism to Puerto Rico," commented Dr. Holcomb, "so come prepared for a fantastic ride!"
One of the major ensembles of the School of Music, the Wind Ensemble recently completed a four-day tour of New York with visits to eight high schools throughout the state. The 44-member group performed with and for high school wind, brass and percussion students, representing a wonderful learning opportunity for high school and college students alike.
