Tickets available for Western Wind concert at CSC

The Western Wind is a vocal sextet that has devoted itself to “the special beauty and variety of a cappella music.” It has been performing throughout the United States and Europe since 1969. The group often is featured on National Public Radio.

Although the New York City-based ensemble has a vast repertoire, the presentation at Chadron State will be “My Funny Valentine” made up of jazz and popular music.

The ensemble has won rave reviews. The New York Times called one of its performances “enterprising and supremely polished” and in another review reported: “As fresh and stimulating a concert as this listener has attended in quite some time. Long may The Western Wind blow; long may its sounds renew and challenge us.”
