Upcoming Concert Information

SSW Percussion Capital Campaign
Since its founding in 2002, SSW has rehearsed at various public school music rooms. The larger percussion instruments that are essential to the music SSW rehearses and performs was acquired through borrowing or renting.

SSW is now faced with purchasing their own concert percussion equipment, including timpani, mallet instruments, cymbals, and various drums. The total cost for the needed equipment is $25,000.

A "Capital Campaign" has been established to raise funds for this tremendous endeavor and SSW is actively seeking donations in any amount to support the campaign. If you would like more information about the campaign and the instruments SSW is in need of, please contact SSW Board President, Kevin Glaser at kzglaser@gmail.com Donations can be made by credit card via the SSW website (www.sacwinds.org) under the link "Contact Us". Donations may also be mailed to the Sacramento Symphonic Winds at PO Box 1503, Carmichael, CA 95609. All donations are tax deductible!

The Dr. Les Lehr and Marjorie Lehr Music Performance Scholarship

Meet our scholarship winner
My name is Julian Ramos and I won the Lehr Scholarship for private lessons. My private lessons teacher was the professional Mike Rocha who instructed and gave me tips on what to practice and what to work on. I had always thought the way I was producing sound from my trumpet was the best way but it turns out it wasn't. Having this opportunity not only gave me another view on my trumpet but it also gave me the specific exercises that I truly needed to focus on when it came to my playing. Thanks to this scholarship, I got the opportunity to practice with a professional that has given me more confidence in my playing and I plan to take the things that I have learned and apply them to my everyday rehearsal and practices.
