This has been a busy week for the horn studio! Masterclass with Jaclyn Rainey on Sunday, Concert Band on Monday, Jazz Combos on Tuesday, Neile’s Masters recital yesterday as well as Symphony Band’s shared concert with the Iowa Brass Band!

Individual posts to come, but as we wrap up 13 weeks without a break it’s a treat to look back and see the fruits of our labors!

Bravo to senior Jonathon Hughes, and to studio TA Jacob White, for advancing to the final round of the U-Iowa Concerto Competition! They will perform on November 9 for a panel of external judges. Jonathon is performing the first movement of Kurt Atterberg’s Concerto for Horn and Jacob is performing James Naigus’s Radiant Dances. Wish them luck!
