Famed USAF Band of the Golden West to perform Saturday at Governor's Mansion
USAF Golden West Winds will perform a free concert this Saturday evening, Aug. 16, in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion as part of the Jazz and Beyond festival this month in Carson City.
The Golden West Winds is part of the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West from Travis Air Force Base, California. Comprised of flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bass clarinet, this ensemble supports a wide variety of musical events ranging from military ceremonies and patriotic shows to educational programs and recitals of original works for woodwind quintet. To support these events the Golden West Winds plays music of all styles including marches, jazz and classical music.
Tailoring every show to its audience, the Golden West Winds performs a variety of different community relations concerts throughout the western United States. The group can perform several completely distinctive shows at any time. Their “Americana” show is suitable for any audience while the educational show is specialized young students. The recital program is perfect for any concert hall or chamber music series.
