A Winter's Journey: Sounds of the Season

The Garrett Community Concert Band will present its holiday concert, A Winter's Journey: Sounds of the Season, on Sunday, December 7 at 3:00pm in the Daniel Offutt III Theatre at the Performing Arts Center at Garrett College. The band, under the direction of Dr. Sean Beachy, will perform a variety of music focusing on the way we travel during the holiday season. Selections include a newer work called Toboggan, Troika from Prokofiev's Lt. Kije Suite, and a version of Over the River and Through the Woods titled A Winter's Journey. There will also be classic holiday pieces including Victor Herbert's March of the Toys, Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride, and Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. In addition, you will hear traditional carols including Angels We Have Heard on High, I Saw Three Ships, and He Is Born, as well as a medley of traditional Hannukah songs. We hope you will join us to usher in the holiday season!
