The Brazosport College Department of Music will host an afternoon concert performance by the College and Community Wind Ensemble at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 13. The ensemble will be under the direction of Richard Birk.

The performance will be offered at no cost to the public, and will be held in The Clarion, located just east of the main building at 500 College Drive in Lake Jackson.

“Our program will include a wide variety of music ranging from classical to contemporary, as well as new pieces for band and classic patriotic march,” Birk said. “There should be something for everyone. I hope the community will come join us for a wonderful afternoon of music.”
