JOHNSON CITY – The East Tennessee State University Wind Ensemble and Concert Band will share their second virtual concert performance of the spring semester, which will stream on YouTube on Wednesday, April 14, at 5 p.m. and remain available for viewing afterward.
“Wind Band Classics II” features both concert bands of the ETSU Bands program in performances that were prepared over the course of several weeks and recorded in the Grand Hall of the new Martin Center for the Arts.
