While the Grand Valley State University Brass Quintet is in
Traverse City for Commencement, they will first give two performances
for West Senior High School band students.
On Thursday, May 6, the Grand Valley quintet will perform master
classes for the Wind Ensemble and the Concert Band, through
arrangements with Pat Brumbaugh, band director at West Senior High.
"We perform a variety of music and talk with students about
the benefits of playing chamber music and concepts to improve their
musicianship," said Mark Williams, a member of the quintet and
assistant professor of trombone at Grand Valley. "It is part of
our outreach program to perform and inform pre-college students."
The quintet will also be performing at the Grand Valley Traverse
City Commencement, held at the Grand Traverse Resort, at 6 p.m. For
more information, contact Mark Williams at (616) 331-3537.
