Alumni Eastman Wind Ensemble – Eastman Weekend 2012

EASTMAN WIND ENSEMBLE OFFICIALLY TURNS 60 IN FEBRUARY 2013!

To jumpstart the year-long celebration, we are planning a special Alumni Eastman Wind Ensemble Playing Session during Eastman Weekend 2012 for Sunday, October 14, from 9:30 – 10:30 am in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre.

Come join other EWE alumni for this informal playing session which will include great music by Holst, Sousa and Grainger conducted by Conductor Emeritus Donald Hunsberger and current conductor, Mark Scatterday.  Don’t worry if your chops aren’t in great shape, this is meant to be fun and full of great fellowship and memories!

Every participant will be sent the EWE’s new CD featuring music by Stravinsky following the official release date planned for February 2013.

If you would like to perform in the Alumni Eastman Wind Ensemble, please let us know by Friday, September 14.  All responses and inquiries can be sent to Kathy Zager in the Conducting & Ensembles Department at Eastman by email at kzager@esm.rochester.edu or by phone at 585.274.1447.

Please bring your own instrument if possible.  If you need an instrument, please note this in your RSVP, and we will try to make arrangements for you.

We look forward to seeing you this fall!

Mark Davis Scatterday, DMA ’89
