JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2022) – One of the Mid-Atlantic’s most celebrated chamber music groups is coming to East Tennessee State University.
The Atlantic Reed Consort will be featured during the ETSU Department of Music’s Reed Day, an event that goes from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19, at the
D.P. Culp Student Center.
“We are proud to welcome students, amateurs of all levels, parents and band directors,”
said Dr. Lisa Perry, an assistant professor in the department. “This will be a fun
and instructive day of master classes, clinics and more.”
The Atlantic Reed Consort, a well-known reed quintet, will play a major part in the
day’s events. Those attending will participate in a class for several instruments,
including oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bass clarinet and bassoon. The group will offer
methods for improving tone production, musicianship and expression, the department
said, as well as strategies for improving sight-reading and combating performance
anxiety.
The Atlantic Reed Consort will host a free public concert at 2 p.m. in the Martha
Street Culp Auditorium. The event is being funded by the Student Government Association
BUC Fund.
Tickets are $15 each, though parents and guardians accompanying minors may attend
for free.
