    The Ohlone Wind Orchestra, California's Premier Wind Orchestra, announces its Fall Concert. The concert will feature Gandalf (the Wizard), and Hobbits, two movements from Johan de Meij's prize-winning Symphony No. 1, The Lord of the Rings. The concert will also include Adam Gorb's jazzy Awayday, Frank Ticheli's moving American Elegy, music from Alfred Reed's Armenian Dances, Gordon Jacob's An Original Suite, and the Fanfare from Dukas' La Peri, featuring the OWO brass. The Ohlone Wind Orchestra (OWO), "California's Premier Wind Orchestra," is one of the leading professional quality wind ensembles in the United States today. Under the direction of Tony Clements, the band is comprised of 50 woodwind, brass and percussion players. The band performs an eclectic blend of musical styles ranging from Bach to Bernstein and Sousa to Strauss. They combine the tradition of the British brass band with the musical heritage of the American town band and the pioneering spirit of the 20th century wind ensemble.
