Orchard St. in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.   The concert will begin at 7:30 pm. The band will be conducted by its co-founders Mark Mosley and Sarah Good Mosley. The  concert will feature works by two contemporary female composers, Jennifer Higdon and Cindy McTee.  Other works on the program include Procession of the Nobles by Rimsky-Korsakov and La Forza Del Destino Overture by Giuseppe Verdi.  The concert will conclude with “Pines of the Appian Way”, the last movement from Respighi’s Pines of Rome. 

We’re delighted to announce that John Hagstrom, trumpet player in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, will be our featured soloist with Windy City Winds at our March 9th concert, Dynamic Forces. John will be playing “Rose Variations” by Robert Russell Bennett with us. You will love hearing this seldom performed piece!

Directions and Parking for the Windy City Winds Concert

Our concert is at St. Pauls United Church of Christ, 2335 N. Orchard, Chicago IL — on the corner of Orchard and Fullerton, across the street from the former site of Children’s Hospital in Lincoln Park, one block east of DePaul University.

From Lake Shore Drive, take Fullerton west past Clark Street to the first stop sign at Geneva. Turn left and take Geneva south one half block to the next stop sign at Kemper Drive. Turn right and take Kemper Driver (a skinny one way street) and park for free in the church parking lot on the right. Continue walking down Kemper and enter the sanctuary at the corner.

If the parking lot is full, continue down Kemper, turn right on Orchard and turn left at Fullerton. Take Fullerton west into the left turn lane at the stop light at Halsted and Lincoln. Turn a hard left onto Lincoln and go south to the Lincoln Commons Parking Garage. Turn right into the parking for additional parking. Then walk across Lincoln and south to Orchard, turn left and walk a half block to the church sanctuary entrance.

Note that most street parking in the neighborhood requires a permit, so be careful where you park.
