POTSDAM -- The 70-piece Potsdam Community Band will host a free performance Sunday, Jan. 11 at 3 p.m. in Hosmer Hall at SUNY Potsdam.

Highlighting the fact that this is PCB's fifth January concert, the band will perform music featuring the number 5, including the theme from "Mission Impossible," which is in a 5/4 time signature, arranged by Vinson.

"Variations on a Korean Folk Song," by John Barnes Chance, is a standard of the Band literature. It uses the pentatonic (5-note) well-known Korean song, "Arirang" in many exciting variations. Saucedo's piece, "The Fives Prevail" is an exuberant adventure that also features music in 5/4 time.

Frozen might describe our North Country weather in January; it's also the title of the hit movie from 2013, and we'll perform the beautiful, "Let it Go," arranged by Michael Brown, from the film.

Henry Fillmore's march "Americans We" was first published in 1929. Arranger Frederick Fennell said the march "is as happy a piece of music as I know."

Other "Americana" will be the gorgeous arrangement of "Amazing Grace," by Frank Ticheli, who comments about this piece, believe that music has the power to take us to a place that words alone cannot." "Symphonic Overture," by American composer Charles Carter, will begin the program, and New Jersey-born composer Timothy Broege's clever and poignant "The Tango Disappearing," will be heard later in the concert.

A quick visit to other parts of the world will feature Gliere's famous "Russian Sailor's Dance," the Spanish march "Amparito Roca" by Texidor, and Reineke's "The Witch and the Saint," depicting 2 sisters born in 16th century Germany.

Later in January, music-lovers will have a chance to hear two incredibly fine Wind groups. On January 23 at 7 pm in Hosmer will be the Northern Symphonic Winds, conducted by Brian Doyle. On January 25 at 3 pm in Hosmer, the Syracuse-based Central Winds will perform a concert with conductor James Tapia.

All concerts offer free admission.
