Residency with Gaudete Brass Quintet and composer Don Owens continues





Members of the Gaudete Brass Quintet and composer Don Owens are visiting South High School today for an extended rehearsal with the South High School Wind Ensemble making final preparations for the world premiere of Concerto for Brass Quintet and Wind Ensemble - Movement I - Rejoice.  Commissioned for the  GBQ and the DGS Wind Ensemble to be performed in Carnegie Hall, this piece is a complex work that showcases the virtuosity of both ensembles.  Thanks to the Mustang Band Boosters for supporting this project, giving our student musicians an opportunity to present a world premiere on the stage at Carnegie Hall.
