On February 26, 2015 at 7:30 pm in the University of South Florida School of Music Concert Hall, the 

Wind Ensemble will be presenting a concert entitled: Location, Location, Location. As the title infers, 

the concert is comprised of musical works that have some kind of connection to a place. The 

strongest connection occurs with a performance of Hammersmith by Gustav Holst, which represents 

that district in London. Festive Overture by Dmitri Shostakovich, takes us to Russia, as does the 

Cossack Dance. A performance of Warren Benson s The Passing Bell, puts us in an American 

church memorializing the tragic passing of a band student. Pale Blue on Deep is based upon the 

reflections of composer Aaron Perrine as he sat on the shore of Lake Superior. Several other location 

connections are made in this diverse and entertaining program.  We hope you will be able to attend.
