The United States Army Field Band is well known for its large touring ensembles, but this year our chamber groups are hitting the road as well. From April 19 to 26, the Soldiers’ Chorus, as well as our outstanding small ensembles, will perform recitals and give clinics at all levels of education, from elementary to university. On April 24, the Soldiers’ Chorus will perform at Morgan State University in collaboration with renowned conductor, arranger, and composer Dr. Robert L. Morris. “We are looking forward to having examples of good musicianship to show our entire music department,” shared Dr. Stephanie Bruning, professor of piano at Morgan State. The Pentagon Winds woodwind quintet will perform for 140 fourth and fifth graders at Ritchie Park Elementary School in Rockville, Maryland. “I want the kids to have the unique experience of watching professional musicians,” said Ritchie Park music teacher Jill Kanowith. “It is very important to show young students that hard work and practice can lead to success.” Although the chamber ensembles of The United States Army Field Band are targeting one week in April, they may be available to provide clinics, recitals, and workshops during major tours. |
