Tennessee Wind Symphony presents free concert

East Tennessee’s premier community concert band is returning to Farragut for the first time since 2016.

Tennessee Wind Symphony will present a free concert at 6 p.m., Sunday, March 1, in Farragut High School’s Vicki B. Wells’ auditorium while also supporting the FISH Hospitality Pantries.

“We’re excited [to hold the concert],” said Christopher Best, TWS communications and publicity coordinator. “We have a long history with Farragut, rehearsing at the middle school for about 20 years.

“In our real early days in the ’90s, we would have concerts in the (FHS) auditorium, and a lot of our members live in Farragut and make music in their churches in Farragut,” he said. “There’s a quintet, the Concord Brass, that is made up of members in our group.

“We have a lot of roots in Farragut but haven’t been able to perform there in 10 years,” Best said. “We have become artists in residence at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Bearden since about 2021-22.”
