The concert features eleven student players, based on juried performances after fall semester. Faculty chose representatives from each performance area. “It is like a ‘best of’ showcase for the music students enrolled in studio lessons,” HSU Music professor Elisabeth Harrington explained.
The participants are Kevin Amos (marimba), Justin Santos (guitar), Ryan McGaughey (piano), Craig Hull (trombone), Erin Laetz (flute), Gladys Arechiga (alto saxophone), Ana Cruz (soprano), Levi Walls (piano), Sydney Chandler (horn), Angela Galioto (violin) and Neil Bost (vibraphone.) Staff pianist John Chernoff accompanies many of the selections.
There is no admission charge. A public reception in honor of the players will be held after the concert. For more information visit hsumusic.blogspot.com.
