Westchester Symphonic Winds Opens 37th Season with “Landscapes”

Westchester Symphonic Winds (WSW) presents “Landscapes,” the opening performance of their 37th season on Sunday, November 10, 2024 at 3:00 pm at the Tarrytown Music Hall. The concert will transport the audience across a musical landscape rooted in diverse themes ranging from American culture and history to classic Shakespearean literature.

Guest artists for the Landscapes concert include musical neighbors spanning the distance from the Hudson Valley to the Pacific Coast. Taking the stage as the featured soloist is SFC Nicole Caluori, now in her fifteenth year as Principal French Horn of the West Point Band. Leading the ensemble as the first guest conductors for the 37th season are Dr. Gerard Morris and Andrew Dolgon. Dr. Morris joins the group from the University of Puget Sound School of Music, where he is serving in his fifteenth year as Director of Bands and department chair for winds and percussion. Apprentice conductor Andrew Dolgon, a member of the WSW trombone section, is the elementary band director for the Pelham Union-Free School District in southern Westchester and maintains an active private studio in Westchester.

Noting the significance of Landscapes as the 37th season opening concert, Maestro Ebersole shared, “Music transcends time and distance, bringing communities together as we collectively explore the richness and diversity of our histories and traditions.
