The Columbia Summer Winds will be playing at Old First Church on 7th Avenue and Carroll Street in
Park
Slope, Brooklyn at 8pm on Wednesday evening, July 16. That’s tonight folks.
The Columbia Summer Winds was formed in 2002 as an offshoot of the Columbia
University Wind Ensemble. Based in New York City, we have among us one of
the finest collections of talented amateur musicians in the world, from which we
draw our membership. We thus strive to play the finest literature
available, from orchestra transcriptions to classic Sousa marches; from Broadway
showtunes to the most current movie soundtracks. Since its inception, CSW
has been committed to playing free concerts of the best wind music in the parks
of Manhattan. We have given concerts in such diverse outdoor venues as
Riverside Park, East River Park, Washington Square Park, Battery Park, South
Street Seaport, Morningside Park, and Columbia’s own Low Plaza.
This is a rare indoor performance for this group. The performance is free and open to the public.
