The Valley Winds is a Wind Ensemble dedicated to providing high quality, accessible performances of both classic and new works written for wind ensemble while integrating local
educational opportunities for students and community members.
Onda Tropical (Tropical Wave)
In collaboration with the Mexican Repertoire Initiative at Dartmouth (which the SWE is also a partner of), The Valley Winds will be presenting a program of new, original, and authentic repertoire for Wind Bands, ranging from educational to professional level. All works on the program will be published by Valley Winds Publishing, the non-profit publishing branch of The Valley Winds, and the recordings of the concert will be used as the reference recordings for the publisher. This publishing initiative makes authentic works by Mexican composers available and accessible to public schools, collegiate ensembles, and professional organizations, to allow ensembles to better represent the largest minority and fastest growing population in the United States through their programming.
The Valley Winds will offer a concert with the listed repertoire, followed by a recording session of Onda Tropical with the composer Rodrigo Martinez Torres, recording engineer Hans Mues from Mexico City, and soloist Abi Pak (accordion) who performs professionally under the name La Coriañera. This recording session will also be open to members of the Smith College community.
