The Great Lakes Winds has prepared an hour of some beloved music, and guest musician Tara MacKenzie is bringing some of her beautiful Celtic melodies to share this Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Winds repertoire is always varied. The May 1 concert at Central Westside Church (the band's usual rehearsal spot) will include some familiar Celtic numbers – like Annie Laurie and Mollie on the Shore - band classic When the Saints Go Marching In, classical and modern pieces and some solos by members of the band.
The Great Lake Winds is a Concert Band for players of all ages and levels, with a focus on improving musically in a friendly environment. Some of the region's best professional musicians join young studentsin an afternoon that is always a delight for the audience.
The Great Lake Winds start rehearsals again on Saturday, September 10 at 10 a.m. at Central Westside Church at 10th Street West and 4th Ave. in Owen Sound. Everyone is welcome to join the Great Lake Winds, from the curious beginner, to the average player, to more experienced performers who would like the opportunity to be mentors to help others enjoy the experience of making music. If you can't afford an instrument or lessons, let us know, and we'll find something for you. If you have
extra, we would appreciate donations of instruments, money, or time.
