...our work in progress

Programming is always such a fun part of the year for me as a conductor.  I enjoy the challenge of creating a set of concerts that stretch the ensemble and at the same time provide an incredible artistic experience for an audience.  As we have started the planning for the upcoming season, it has been so overwhelming to think of the growth this ensemble has experienced both in foundational and artistic ways.  You have never seen The Desert Winds the way you will see them this fall.  Our first concert entitled Sketches takes many works from different countries and genesis' and presents them in a way that will be incredibly entertaining for the audience and nurturing for this ensemble.  I look forward to seeing you all in the fall.

Yours in music!
