SUMMARY:Valley Winds Concert III at Eastview
DESCRIPTION:The Valley Winds concert band will perform The Planets Suite during a free performance at 7:30 p.m. on May 21\, in the Eastview High School Performing Arts Center. \nThe Planets Suite will be performed in its entirety with all expanded instrumentation originally scored by composer Gustav Holst\, including two harps\, organ\, alto flute\, two piccolos\, English horn and two sets of timpani. Special guests Eagan Women of Note will perform on the haunting last movement. \nHolst wrote The Planets for orchestra from 1914 to 1916.

They will also be playing concerts in Lakeville at Casperson Park at 3:30 p.m. on May 31\, and at the Como Park Pavilion in St. Paul at 7 p.m. on June 11. The group will take a performance trip to Moorhead in the fall to kick off its third season. \nVisit www.valleywindsmn.com to learn more about Valley Winds and this special concert.
