The Minnesota Symphonic Winds is excited to announce “Let’s Band Together” a Community Band Festival designed to celebrate and share the unique power of adult music making in community wind ensembles as well as support historically underrepresented composers. We are bringing together committed and talented adult wind players ages 22 – 80 from across the Twin Cities to build relationships, heal divisions, and give life to a world that acknowledges the value and dignity of all through music.
Acclaimed composer, conductor, and pianist Kevin Day will be the Artist in Residence for a four day festival that includes rehearsals, clinics, and discussions. The festival culminates in performances from three of the Twin Cities finest adult community bands and the premiere of a Kevin Day composition commissioned by nearly 40 organizations from across the country and written for this festival. Day is one of the most important new voices creating music today, and he’s created an engaging, spirited work that he will conduct in its premiere performance.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
