|
The Adirondack Wind Ensemble (AWE) is a professional musical ensemble of wind and percussion instruments comprised of music educators and other outstanding community musicians from around the North Country. Its performers represent every public school district in Clinton County as well as several in Franklin and Essex Counties. They have gathered in the Adirondack Wind Ensemble to share in the joy of making music. Since its founding in January of 2002 by Daniel Gordon, a member of the music faculty at Plattsburgh State, AWE has performed one or two annual concerts at various locales in Plattsburgh. This is the second concert AWE has performed at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts expanding AWE’s geographic base and making the group a true “Adirondack” Wind Ensemble.
The program includes the Marriage of Figaro by
W.A. Mozart, The Wizard of Oz and Leonard Bernstein's Overture to Candide among
others. In addition, the AWE is pleased to feature Michael Nystoriak, from the
Beekmantown Central School District, in the Concertino for Trombone and Band by
Ferdinand David.
