Spring 2026 is going to be a Very Big Deal for the Hartwick Wind Ensemble. We will be playing three concerts (two at home, one away) and appearing at the College’s Commencement ceremony. Most importantly, we’re playing at CARNEGIE HALL (!!!) on Monday, March 23 at 9am. You can buy tickets here (use the promo code MUS54036 for a discount). We are also having a reception on Sunday evening March 22 at 7:30pm at John’s Pizzeria – sign up here. Finally, you can still support us with a donation! The program will look like this:
Rings – Andrew Pease (world premiere)
Splitting Light – Joni Greene (world premiere)
Shepherd’s Hey – Percy Grainger
We will preview all of this at home in the Anderson Theater on March 10 at 7:30pm, with some additional music:
