Spring is Bustin’ Out All Over!

Spring has definitely come to the beautiful Wimberley Valley, and with it comes some musical entertainment from the Wimberley Valley Big Band.
The Wimberley Valley Big Band will celebrate the joy of music at a “Psalm 150 Concert” at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church on March 16, 2024, at 6 pm. At this free event, the WVBB will play toe-tapping big band and light jazz as well as premiering two original arrangements by director Doug Gillory. It will be a treat! Donations that evening will go to a designated outreach ministry of St. Stephen’s Episcopal, a valued religious nonprofit dedicated to widespread community involvement.

Doors open at 5:30 pm. Free parking and a free concert.
The Wimberley Valley Big Band offers the Psalm 150* Concert to all local religious nonprofits to celebrate God’s gift of music to humanity and the joy it brings us.

****************

Psalm 150

  • 1 Praise the Lord./Praise God in his sanctuary; /praise him in his mighty heavens.
  • 2 Praise him for his acts of power; /praise him for his surpassing greatness.
  • 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,/praise him with the harp and lyre,
  • 4 Praise him with timbrel and dancing,/praise him with the strings and pipe,
  • 5 Praise him with the clash of cymbals,/praise him with resounding cymbals.
  • 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Wimberley Valley Big Band presents two swinging music events in April.  
April 6 -free Pre-Eclipse WINE & UNWIND Concert-Dance at the Wimberley Valley Winery at 2825 Lone Man Mountain Road from 7-9pm. Join us for a gorgeous relaxing evening under the sprawling oaks at the Wimberley Valley Winery. Bring your lawn chairs and set up out on the lawn, or grab a patio chair on the deck and chill with a lovely drink of wine, beer, or a soft drink from the Winery.
