Join us Tuesday, August 18, 2026, for a festive evening as members of the Piedmont Wind Symphony, in collaboration with Körner’s Folly, present a program celebrating the rich heritage and enduring traditions of German wind music.

This special performance, presented in collaboration with Körner’s Folly at Cupid Park Theatre, explores the deep roots of German wind music, tracing its evolution from village dances and outdoor festivities to the formal concert hall. For centuries, bands have played a central role in German cultural life, providing music for civic events, military ceremonies, and seasonal celebrations.

Through a blend of traditional dances, celebratory marches, and concert works inspired by German musical heritage, this performance reveals how music served not only as entertainment, but as a powerful social force, bringing communities together in times of celebration, remembrance, and national pride.
