Cranmore's 10th Mountain Pavilion will play host to a White Mountain Musical Arts performance and the Seacoast Wind Ensemble celebrating Memorial Day to honor our veterans.
The Ensemble, founded in 1984 by David E. Phinney, is dedicated to adult music education and the tradition of performing bands which characterized the John Philip Sousa era. The all volunteer ensemble includes over 60 adult members who create the distinct and robust wind ensemble . Our instruments included bassoon, clarinet, euphonium, flute, French horn, harp, oboe, percussion, piccolo, saxophone, trombone, trumpet and tuba.
Their large and varied repertoire is suitable for the entire family, is selected to encourage listener involvement and encompasses the finest of classical and contemporary music. The Ensemble performs marches, show tunes, jazz, classical / symphonic adaptations for band, Broadway and modern pop-style tunes. Seasonal songs are frequently heard, as are innovative compositions from modern composers. Performances often feature soloists, vocalists, narration and audience participation. Entertaining narratives by the conductor provide explanations of the music and its origins so that the listener can hear, understand and enjoy more of the musical selections.
