Air Force wind ensemble to perform in Sisters

The United States Air Force Band of the Golden West will perform in concert in Sisters featuring the chamber ensemble “Pacific Coast Winds.”

The legendary band will take the stage at Sisters High School on Monday, May 9, at 7 p.m.

The concert will begin with the Sisters High School Band performing music which they will present at the State Band Competition later next week. Following the Outlaws, the chamber ensemble will perform.

The Pacific Coast Winds is the resident chamber music ensemble of Travis Air Force Base, which varies in size from five to 15 musicians. Taken from members of the Concert Band, this group of virtuoso instrumentalists combine to perform from a broad library of standard art music ranging from Mozart’s Serenades and Stravinsky’s Octet to the antics of PDQ Bach.

The United States Band of the Golden West is comprised of professional musicians from around the country. Stationed at Travis Air Force Base, they are the only active duty Air Force Band west of the Rockies.

Its touring area covers a 527,000-square-mile territory including Washington, Oregon and California.
