GREEN BAY — There is something for everyone at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s upcoming Woodwind and Brass Ensemble Concert, scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 3, at Fort Howard Hall inside the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts (2420 Nicolet Drive).

The concert is free and open to the public.

With featured musical selections from a variety of styles and eras, this concert should appeal to all kinds of musical tastes, directors Eric Hansen and Adam Gaines agree.
