Dear Directors,

I hope you are enjoying a restful and well­deserved summer! Many of you
mentioned following the Concert Festival that you would like a list of the 2016
Gold Medal Programs. I have compiled that list for you as a resource for the
coming school year.

As a caution, keep in mind that these programs suited the ensembles that
performed them. To select any of these programs in their entirety would be short
sighted. We do, however, consider this list a good starting point for your
programming.

Sincerely,

Michael Keough
