Get a "Behind-the-Scenes Look" at Detroit
Chamber Winds at ATHENS!
All band students/families are invited to attend at
no charge a special open rehearsal of the Detroit
Chamber Winds & Strings on Tuesday, February 14
in Athens Auditorium. This working rehearsal
provides a wonderful opportunity to see how the
DCWS shapes and fines tunes a piece of music
before presenting it in concert. Under the baton
of world-renowned conductor H. Robert Reynolds,
the group will premiere a composition by Paul
Dooley entitled "Salt of the Earth." The piece is
inspired by the desolate landscape and the
industrious inner workings of the Detroit Salt
Mines. The rehearsal will also include Gustov
Holst's "First Suite in E flat for Military Band."
DCWS players represent some of the most
talented musicians in the Detroit area. Nearly all
come from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra or the
Michigan Opera Theatre. Additionally, the group is
led by world-renowned conductor H. Robert
Reynolds. Retired from the University of Michigan
after 26 years, where he was director of
University Bands, Reynolds currently is Principal
Conductor of the Wind Ensemble at the Thornton
School of Music University of Southern California.
The DCWS open rehearsal takes place from 2:15
pm to 5 pm in the Athens High School Auditorium.
Composer Paul Dooley will talk about "Salt of the
Earth" during the event.
