SAN BERNARDINO, CA— The San Bernardino Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble will be performing This Sunday, November 6th at 2 p.m. at San Bernardino Valley College North Hall.
Themed “INNOVATE”, the repertoire will include Fanfare to the Stars by Chandler Wilson, a transcription of African Dance by our own Dr. Nicholas Bratcher and Kevin Day, and Southern Hymn by Sam Hazo, among other works.
Now in its second season, the ensemble is an auditioned group of students ages 14-21 from schools throughout the Inland Empire. The San Bernardino Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble is conducted by Dr. Nicholas Bratcher, associate professor, and director of bands at California State University, San Bernardino.
The San Bernardino Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble is a music education initiative from the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra providing a nurturing and creative environment where young musicians can grow musically and holistically through performance spotlighting the work of traditionally underrepresented composers.
The event will be held on the campus of San Bernardino Valley College in the North Hall.
