The election is over, and one thing is certain: SaddleBrooke Winds and Strings is ready to entertain! There’s nothing like good music to take one away from the ups and downs of daily life. The concert will be on Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. at the DesertView Performing Arts Center.
Merriment and antics will ensue as the group plays a variety of music you may or may not expect during the holiday season. The theme for our December concert is “Winter Potpourri,” and it is a little less festive than usual. This will prove to be a true variety show, with something for everyone.
This program will feature “Christmas and Sousa Forever” (a mashup of Christmas carols and Sousa marches), “Theme from Schindler’s List,” selections from Into the Woods, “Palladio,” “Fantasia on Greensleeves,” “The Cave You Fear,” and “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” There will also be Chanukah pieces and a band standard. Don’t miss it!
SaddleBrooke Winds and Strings Music Director Jesus Jacquez is an active musician in several Tucson ensembles and an experienced band and orchestra teacher.
