“For Ed” is a heartfelt tribute concert honoring the remarkable 20-year legacy of Dr. Edward C. Harris, who served as music and artistic director of the San José Wind Symphony until his retirement in 2022. Under the direction of Dr. David Vickerman, the San José Wind Symphony will perform a program that reflects Dr. Harris' profound impact on the ensemble and its audiences. In honor of Ed's instrument, the concert features Steve Sanchez, clarinetist, performing Oscar Navarro's II Concerto. The concert also features some of Ed's favorite works for band, as we celebrate his passion, dedication, and the musical excellence he fostered. Join us for an afternoon of music and memories as we honor Dr. Harris and his extraordinary contributions to the San José Wind Symphony!
