An evening of classical favorites re-imagined awaits you at the Naperville Winds’ Season 3 kick-off concert! The Naperville Winds is comprised of 80 talented wind musicians from throughout Northern Illinois on a mission to be a national pillar of exemplary wind band performance and a community leader of musical literature awareness and education for youth in northern Illinois.

Previously featured in the Chicago Tribune, on NCTV-17 Naperville and in the Daily Herald, the ensemble is proud to provide robust educational experiences and opportunities for youth in the Chicagoland region by sharing our stage with high school bands, particularly those that represent socioeconomically marginalized communities.

In “What’s Old is New Again,” you’ll hear familiar classical favorites, such as Bach’s “Aria” from Suite No. 3 for String Orchestra and be introduced to re-imaginings of classical themes by Tchaikovsky in the exciting ride that is “Extreme Make-Over.” A musical treat you won’t want to miss!
