The Hochstein Youth Wind Symphony, directed by John Rolland, presents a winter concert of wind band music.

The program includes “Havendance” by David Holsinger, written for his daughter; “Impressions” by Julie Giroux, a musical synopsis of the life and loves of a single person; Aaron Copland’s “Down a Country Lane,” originally written for piano but later arranged for wind band; “Shattering Infinity,” a musical depiction of fractal art by Benjamin Taylor; and “Amparito Roca,” one of the most famous Spanish marches, by Jamie Texidor.
