BLUE LAKE Wind Orchestra and Big Band

The Blue Lake International Exchange Program and the Community of Carthage have been partners for over 10 years providing cross-cultural experiences in the fine arts. The Osnabruck, Germany wind orchestra was founded in 2005 by music teacher Ekkehard Sauer and continues the successful work of the wind classes founded in 2004. In addition to pop and jazz music, the orchestra of about 80 musicians cultivates the repertoire for symphonic wind orchestra. With the wind orchestra and big band sounds filling the air, they are back on a US Tour in 2024 with stops in Boston; New York; Washington, DC; Chicago; and Carthage! No tickets required. Freewill donations accepted. Join us for an evening of symphonic, pop, and jazz all rolled up in one amazing performance!
