UPEI Wind Symphony concert - Looking Up
Come hear the UPEI Wind Symphony's first live performance in two years!
Directed by Dale Sorensen, the program features works by stalwart wind band composers Brian Balmages, Frank Ticheli, Jan Van der Roost, and others.
"Looking Up" refers not just to our optimism because 'things are looking up', but also because all of the works on the program represent things in the sky (the sun, moon, Mercury), things that fly (a griffin, a roller coaster), or things that float (ghosts!).
