SF Mandolin Orchestra Concert: “Wind” (Piedmont CA)
Music is in the air, as they say. So it is only fitting that this Spring, San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra’s program theme is “Wind,” a celebration of wind- and air-themed compositions.

“Wind” and music go together. Music, after all, is created by the movement of air, an invisible breeze that blows between performer and audience. It comes from wind chimes and Aeolian harps. It comes from wind instruments of all kinds. And it comes from mandolins and guitars, whose strings send vibration through in air, create their own special magic.

Join us this Spring for our wind-themed program, which includes:

•Vivaldi’s Primavera (“Spring”) from The Four Seasons, featuring Achille Bocus, mandolin soloist.
•Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 2, BWV 1067 (excerpts), featuring Susan Pursey, flute soloist, and Air on a G String, BWV 1068.
•Mozart’s Symphony #29, KV. 201 (in which the orchestra will be joined by wind instrument players).
•Respighi Ancient Airs and Dances.
•“I Talk to The Wind” featuring Sean Gugler, vocals
