​About the Event
For its annual Salute to Veterans Concert, Northwinds Symphonic Band, under the direction of its founding Director Helen P. Bauer and its Associate Director Bradley S. Hartman, will present a diverse and interesting program.  On the concert will be well known patriotic works such as “National Emblem,” “The Battle Cry for Freedom,” Leroy Anderson’s “Ticonderoga March” and music by John Philip Sousa.  Selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I will represent the field of theater music and the big band era will live again with a special appearance by Long Island’s premier 1930s & 40s female vocal trio, The Three Babbling Brooks. The Brooks are made up of Stephanie Horowitz, Holly Sickinger and Valerie Grehan who will perform music made famous by Tommy Dorsey and The Andrews Sisters.  Works of Americana will be spotlighted with Bruce Broughton’s music from the epic western motion picture Silverado and the descriptive symphonic poem for concert band, “Gettysburg – The Third Day” by Jay Dawson.  Euphonium soloists Donald Winston and Alex Friedman will step to center stage and perform the virtuoso duet “Variations on ‘All Those Endearing Young Charms.’”  There will also be a special performance of composer/educator Stanley Glick’s moving composition, “Aftermath,” accompanied by a slideshow of photographs from Normandy.  Please join us for an afternoon of great entertainment for the entire family.
