"These are the stars," music department secretary Jeannie De Vito said.
The Fall Chamber Winds concert performers are hailed as the top performers from the Wind Ensemble. Overseeing the program is acclaimed music department head and chair Jason Chevalier.
The musicians are chosen and formed into duos, trios and quartets. Chevalier said that the dynamics and pressure of performing as a small group develops a "very evident professionalism in these students."
"This concert will be fun with a great amount of variety," Chevalier added.
He credited Maggie Worsley with training the clarinets and Lori Stuntz with the low brass.
James Duran, a second year bass clarinet said, "this performance will stand out as a much more advanced and technical program in comparison to others."
Duran said the night will feature compositions ranging from Bach to classic German folk songs.
The concert will also feature the unconventional professional chamber music trio "Third Wheel" as a special guest. Two members of "Third Wheel" return to work with Jason Chevalier as his former high school music students. The group member's backgrounds are as varied as their musical vision.
Adrienne Geffen, Karin Kantenwein and Rich Ramberg come from premier music programs across the country with repertoires ranging over four centuries, including performances from "The Music Man", "Footloose", "Evita", "The Spirit of Louisiana", and performances with Royal Caribbean International.
The Fall Chamber Winds Concert will be held on Nov. 18 at 4 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall. Admission: Public $12, Seniors & Children $9 and Students (w/ I.D) $9.
