Salem Symphonic Winds will conclude its 48th season with An Impulse to Soar on Sunday, June 11, at 3 pm in Rose Auditorium at South Salem High School. John Skelton will conduct the program featuring three selections, including the title work by Salem composer David A. Jones and symphonies by Aaron Copland and Julie Giroux.

The concert will feature the Oregon premiere of the band version of An Impulse to Soar, originally written for the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble. Jones was commissioned by a consortium of seven ensembles, including Salem Symphonic Winds, to transcribe the work for concert band. The expanded work takes full advantage of all the sounds and soloists within the band.
