The concert features pianist Branda Vahur playing George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," and local composer George Roumanis' setting of "Shenandoah."

The concert will also include Dmitri Shostakovich's "Festive Overture," Caesar Giovannini's "Overture in B Flat," David Holsinger's "Liturgical Dances," John Barnes Chance's "Incantation and Dance," and Eric Leidzen's transcription of the Finale from Dvorak's "New World Symphony."

The Ohlone Wind Orchestra (OWO), "California's Premier Wind Orchestra," is one of the leading professional quality wind ensembles in the United States today. Under the direction of Tony Clements, the band is comprised of 50 woodwind, brass and percussion players. The band performs an eclectic blend of musical styles ranging from Bach to Bernstein and Sousa to Strauss. They combine the tradition of the British brass band with the musical heritage of the American town band and the pioneering spirit of the 20th century wind ensemble.
