The third musical event of this year's KTPB Fine Arts 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.
KTPB, the public radio station based at Kilgore College, hosts its annual Fine Arts Festival September 5 through October 7, 2000. Note this is a change from the regular Clarksville's Old Church Theater third Saturday. This 90-member extravaganza sells out across the country and promises to be a powerful launch of the season. So distinctive and delightful, it can be said The Martins have created music uniquely and entirely their own. This performance touches both the heart and soul.
