The Eastern Shore Wind Ensemble, conducted by music director Jodi Bortz, will perform a free concert titled “A Night at the Movies” beginning at 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church at Cross and High Streets, Chestertown. The church is handicapped-accessible, via the ramp and automatic doors on the courthouse-green side of the building.

Come along for the ride as the music of John Williams takes you on an “Out of This World” adventure with excerpts from Star Wars and E.T. Hear the cinematic love story told in “Highlights from La La Land” by Jusin Hurwitz. Share in the nostalgia of Coco’s “Remember Me” by Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez. Celebrate the season with Danny Elfman’s “Music for a Darkened Theatre,” featuring themes from Tales from the Crypt, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, and Spider-Man. And finally, visit the familiar and welcoming “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” with the iconic music of Fred Rogers.

The Ensemble is an all-ages community concert band. It was formed in 2001 to offer area wind and percussion musicians the opportunity to continue or return to playing music in a large ensemble. New members are welcome, without audition or fee.

Rehearsals for the next concert will begin on Monday, November 7. Rehearsals run every Monday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
