Lifetime Achievement award program celebrating the life and career of our mentor, the tubist, teacher and composer, John Stevens. We performed his landmark work Moondance as a quartet and his Adagio as part of a larger ensemble. On the same program paid tribute to the lifetime achievement of composer Jan Koetsier by performing the final movement from his quartet work Wolkenschatten.
Before the friday night evening concert we performed a new fanfare titled "Calm Down" by composer Tony Plog. We are also currently work with Mr. Plog on a new large scale quartet commission. We have really enjoying preparing this new fanfare and are excited to share it with the community.
