Windham Philharmonic invites you to a rousing outdoor concert on Friday, July 4th at 3 p.m. at the Winston Prouty Center, conducted by Music Director Hugh Keelan. Come hear the dramatic 1812 Overture of Tchaikovsky, with Sousa marches and more! Joined by members of the American Legion Band and the Brattleboro Union High School band, and BUHS band director Alex Brady, the orchestra brings you stirring patriotic marches by John Philip Sousa: “El Capitan,” “Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,” and “Stars and Stripes Forever,” as well as J.F. Wagner’s “Under the Double Eagle” and Morton Gould’s “American Salute.” We acknowledge the challenges of our contemporary world with the reflective, mournful “Adagio” of Samuel Barber, arranged for winds and strings.
This is a perfect event for families! The concert lasts about an hour; admission is by donation. Baked goods and beverages will be available to purchase. Bring chairs or blankets to sit on.
