Arts Council of Tamworth

Listen to the New England Winds radio ad here.

Arts Council of Tamworth (ACT) is delighted to present the United States Air Force Band of Liberty New England Winds playing a full concert on Sunday, February 12 at 2:00 PM at St. Andrew’s-in-the-Valley in Tamworth and a mini-concert with Q&A at 9:00 AM on Monday, February 13 at the K. A. Brett School. Airman First Class Carolyn Sierichs on flute, Airman First Class Kathleen Tennyson on oboe, Staff Sergeant Mickey Ireland on clarinet and Staff Sergeant Christopher Stahl on bassoon will present a program featuring something for all musical tastes: popular, Broadway, patriotic, jazz and folk music, as well as pieces from the traditional woodwind quintet repertoire. The repertoire on Sunday afternoon will include works by Strauss, Albeniz, Debussy, Gershwin, and Sousa, and a new work by Alyssa Morris, and the concert will be followed by a reception—a great opportunity to meet and talk to these fine musicians. Both concerts are free and open to the public. ACT welcomes donations to help support the organization.

The New England Winds has been recognized by audiences throughout the Northeastern United States for its passionate and refined performances. Concertgoers have been treated to challenging repertoire with music from the Baroque era to newly commissioned works.  Performing at events from small stage recitals to the International Double Reed Convention, the New England Winds’ versatility and ability to interact with listeners on an intimate level has left audiences with memories of compelling and expressive music-making. Every member of the quintet is a dedicated chamber player with years of study on his or her instrument. As professional military musicians, The United States Air Force Band of Liberty, based at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts, is dedicated to using the power of music to inspire our Air Force members and the great nation we serve, producing innovative musical programs and products, and communicating Air Force excellence throughout New England and around the globe.
