Sounds of the Season with the Seacoast Wind Ensemble
Join us for our extra special holiday concerts this weekend in Exeter and Portsmouth!
The Seacoast Wind Ensemble will hold our annual holiday concerts this weekend in the Seacoast region. We would love to see you there!
- Saturday, December 12, 7:00 pm at the First Baptist Church of Exeter, 2 Spring Street, Exeter, NH
- Sunday, December 13, 3:00 pm at the First United Methodist Church, 129 Miller Ave, Portsmouth, NH
The program will feature traditional holiday music, sing-alongs, a new year’s-themed Sousa march, and everyone’s favorite - Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride.” There’s sure to be something new and something familiar for everyone in the audience! The concerts are free and open to the public. We welcome donations at the door.
Our concerts this weekend are extra special for the members of SWE because they are our final performances with our artistic director, Mark Zielinski. We we want to emphasize how incredibly grateful we are to Mr. Zielinski, who has led this ensemble since 2010. He will step down from his role as artistic director at the end of the 2015 calendar year. We will have our final performances with him this weekend -- come help us say thank you to this wonderful musician!!
We will be making an announcement about our new artistic director in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned for this next chapter with SWE.
