CONCERT BAND - Grade 1.5 with Professional Soloist
This incredible opportunity is the first in a series of solos for various ensembles at varying experience levels. This consortium project is for the commissioning of a Grade 1 1/2 work for band (upper elementary/middle school) that features a solo part for a professional musician. This could also be performed by an advanced high school student or college musician, but will be designed to invite in and feature a professional performer.
​
The concept behind this commission came from a discussion I had with several colleagues about the lack of literature with substantial solos for this age group. I had the idea to connect a professional/advanced musician with the ensemble. And, this consortium was born.
