Auburn University Department of Music is proud of the performance of Dr. Rick Good and the AU Symphonic Winds at the AMEA 2012 In-Service Conference in January. With guest euphonium soloist, Jason Ham and guest conductors, Dr. Corey Spurlin, Dr. Doug Rosener, and Mr. Jim Duren, Dr. Good and the ensemble presented a program of difficult, innovative, and interesting repertoire. Their exciting performance exhibited musicality and technical precision. We are honored by their invitation to perform for the 2012 AMEA Conference. We are also proud of the contributions of Dr. Rosephanye Dunn-Powell as
she
conducted the Alabama Honor Choir that presented a wonderful concert at the conference.
In February, the Band area hosted the Third Annual Auburn University Symphonic Honor Band Festival for Junior High and Middle School students and the 21st
Annual Auburn University Symphonic Honor Band Festival for
students in grades 9-12. Featured guest composer and conductor Matt Conaway, as well as guest conductors, Connie Hammond, Audrey Murphy, and Chris Walker worked with the junior high and middle school students. The senior high students studied and rehearsed with guest composer
and clinician David
Gillingham, featured guest conductor, Frank Wickes, and guest conductors Jeff Bianchi and John Casagrande. Guest concerts were presented by the Pizitz Middle School Band conducted by Kim Bain and the Lovinggood Middle School Band conducted by AU Alum Joseph Heiberger. This year’s festival involved students from over 125 high schools and represented eleven different states. The AU Concert Band, Symphonic Winds, and Jazz Band also performed for the students who experienced a wonderful weekend of music learning.
In February we are delighted to host Dr. Julianne Baird, world renowned soprano, recording artist, and distinguished professor of Music at Rutgers University.
Hailed by the New York Times as “a national artistic treasure,” Julianne Baird will visit Auburn’s main campus February 20 and 21 to present a lecture and concert centered on her latest research project, the Jane Austen Songbook, which “weaves pertinent
literary passages
around a series of arias and late 18th- century songs selected from Jane Austen’s own musical collection.
In the Auburn Department of Music, we are proud to offer an intimate and nurturing atmosphere that provides opportunities for individual attention and regular performance for students. We are fortunate to be able to bring in frequent guest artists for concerts and master classes.
