✨🐋 Every life is a journey. Some paths carry us across familiar landscapes, while others lead us toward places we have never imagined. Along the way, we encounter history, tradition, courage, beauty, and one another

🗺 🎶 The VCU Wind Ensemble and Henrico Concert Band invite you to share in this musical journey -- a journey across land, sea, and sky, and ultimately toward the places where our paths meet.

🎫 Tickets available at arts.vcu.edu/music-events

VCU Wind Ensemble will exlplore journeys of many kinds. We travel by railroad in Magnolia Star, venture across the sea in Of Sailors and Whales, encounter the sounds of another culture in Fantasy in French, and revisit musical traditions through the melodies of Percy Grainger and Gustav Holst. We remember the courage represented by Old Ironsides March and Flight of Valor, and finally look upward in Sure on this Shining Night.

At the heart of the program is Each Life Converges, a reminder that although our journeys may begin in different places and follow different paths, our lives inevitably intersect with those of others.
