Expect the unexpected. Hear the extraordinary.

Forget everything you think you know about a wind symphony.

On November 7, Piedmont Wind Symphony takes the stage at Brendle Recital Hall for American Gothic, an electrifying evening of bold music, extraordinary soloists, and sounds you never saw coming.

Four percussionists transform everyday objects into instruments. A virtuoso clarinetist pushes the boundaries of what his instrument can do. A fiddler brings an unexpected twist to the concert hall. From infectious rhythms and playful surprises to breathtaking moments of musical brilliance, this is a concert that refuses to be ordinary.

Featuring five distinctive works and six exceptional guest artists, American Gothic celebrates the imagination, energy, and endless possibilities of live music.

Whether you're a lifelong music lover or stepping into a concert hall for the very first time, there's something here to surprise you.

One night. Six featured artists. A whole new way to experience live music.

Come curious. Leave inspired.
