ATLANTA WIND SYMPHONY 2010-2011 MASTER SEASON PREVIEW
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

In 1979, a dedicated group of musicians gathered to form a band designed to provide a glimpse of the arts to the community. Initially known as The North Fulton Community Band, they later evolved into the Atlanta Wind Symphony. Embarking on its 32nd season, this group has become internationally respected for its continued musical excellence, contribution to music education, and service to the community.

Since its inception, AWS has performed for television, charity benefits, state officials, and presidents, in a wide variety of venues, from outdoor parks and civic celebrations to Carnegie Hall. Comprised of more than 70 adult musicians ranging in experience from some of Atlanta’s finest professional musicians and composers to hobbyists, this group commits to delivering extraordinary performances, practicing diligently throughout the season. Dr. Patrick Carney is looking forward to his third season as Music Director and Conductor. "I am excited about our program for this season, and as always, am honored to have been chosen to conduct this extraordinary group."

Atlanta Wind Symphony’s 2010-2011 Master Concert Series kicks off its 32nd season on October 10th with a "Tribute to the Greatest Generation" with a program honoring the men and women who grew up in the Great Depression, were instrumental in ending a world war, and rebuilt America into a superpower. On December 12th AWS brings in the holiday season with a selection of holiday favorites, combined with a toy drive to benefit Toys for Tots. Our spring concert theme for March 20th will be "Remembering Stravinsky." We will close the season on May 8th with "City Music," taking you on a transcendent journey of cityscapes and skylines through the music of celebrated wind band composers. The AWS Master Season offerings will all be held at 3:00 PM at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center, but there will be other opportunities to hear our performances as well, including a sneak preview October 3rd at the Alpharetta First United Methodist Church. We close each year with "Roswell Remembers - Memorial Day" at Roswell City Hall, and the Roswell United Methodist Church Patriotic Celebration, June 24th at 7:30 and June 26th at 3:00 and 5:30 PM.

Please mark your calendars to join us at every opportunity, and stay tuned for more concert details as we kick off our season. For the most up to date information, be sure to check out our website at www.atlantawindsymphony.org.
