Queen's Medium Ensembles Concert

Thursday, December 1, 7:30 pm

The Medium Ensembles Concert is a joint collaboration between the Clarinets Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Flute Choir, and Cello Ensemble.

The Queen's Clarinets Ensemble's mission is to push the limits of a traditional clarinet choir performance practice by entering multidisciplinary projects. Directed by Kornel Wolak, this highly innovative performance is made up of two creations Tyranny Defeated by Josh Hurst and Uninvited Guests by Freddy Baker, both of whom have been our composers-in-residence this term. 

The Queen's Percussion Ensemble performs the classic music for percussion and works by contemporary composers of the day. The ensemble was formed in the mid-seventies by past percussion instructor, James Petercscak and is currently directed by Greg Runions. They will perform three varied works, including Tom Gauger's Gainsborough, Anthony Korff's Blue Rhythm Quintet, and Ivan Trevino's Time is Relative.

The Queen's Flute Choir is a friendly and inclusive ensemble for flutists of all abilities. This ensemble will be presenting works inspired by a pop tune, sea shanties, and ice cream flavors, and highlighting the trios and quartets within the flute choir.

The Queen's Cello Ensemble, directed by Wolf Tormann, will include a repertoire choices range from arrangements of baroque, classical and romantic music to film, pop and rock music
