The U.S. Air Force Heartland of America Band’s Winds of Freedom will present a concert on May 19 at 7 p.m. in the Auditorium (Building 8) of the St. Cloud VA Medical Center, 4801 Veterans Drive, in St. Cloud.

A woodwind quintet with percussion composed of members of the band’s larger performing ensembles, the Winds of Freedom inspires military and civilian audiences to increase patriotism. They also share stirring accounts of the bravery and self-sacrifice of our expeditionary Airmen serving around the globe.

The group showcases its musical diversity with a repertoire of standard woodwind quintet pieces and unique arrangements in a variety of musical styles. The Winds of Freedom takes audiences on a tour of some of the world’s most beautiful and exciting music. Each member of the group is a soloist in his or her own right and together they render the perfect blend of tone color and musicianship.
