Seeking Musicians for Holiday Prism Concert

Posted on by

The Los Alamos Community Winds (LACW) announces a call for musicians for its annual Holiday Prism Concert, Saturday Dec. 16, at Crossroads Bible Church.

As many in the community know, this performance is a “concert in the round” where musicians from all backgrounds are invited to join in a celebration of the season. Soloists and small ensemble (chamber) performances are being sought to be presented throughout the concert in a continuous sequence without intermission.

There is also no restriction on the level of player for this event. Student groups as well as any other amateur or professional musicians on any instrument are welcome to participate.

There is no limit on the type of solo or ensemble with the exception of the following:

  • All music must have a holiday (not necessarily Christmas) or seasonal theme; and
  • Each soloist or ensemble’s selection(s) must not exceed 7 minutes in total duration.

If interested in joining this annual event or if there are any questions, contact LACW at info@lacw.org. Use the subject heading “PRISM” in the communication.

Deadline for notification of intent to participate and repertoire selection(s) is Tuesday, Nov. 14.

The Los Alamos Community Winds is seeking musicians for our 2023-24 Season. We are an amateur wind ensemble made up of members from Los Alamos and surrounding areas. We have been performing in Los Alamos since 2000, playing four formal concerts a year, along with appearances at community events. We welcome players of all ages and backgrounds. Our members range from students to retirees. Auditions are not required.

We begin rehearsals for our upcoming season on Tuesday August 22. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday from 7-9pm in the Los Alamos High School Band Room. If you have questions, please contact our director, Ted Vives at director@lacw.org.
