The third musical event of this year's festival offers an evening of classical music as KTPB presents the United States Air Force Southwest Winds Quintet. This ensemble is a component of the Air Force Band of the West, stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. The quintet will perform music ranging from Renaissance to contemporary. The ensemble tours throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico. As members of the Band of the West, the quintet has performed with the Dallas, San Antonio, and San Angelo Symphony Orchestras.
Admission is free.
