Music Is In The Air This Week...

As the days continue to grow shorter and October gives way to November, the DGN Fine Arts Department is busy making exciting music this week!



The musicians of the DGN Wind Ensemble & DGN Concert Band will be joined in performance by the Gaudete Brass Quintet, Tuesday, October 30 at 7:00 PM in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium. This concert will feature a special performance of Suite from MASS, by Leonard Bernstein, and honor the 100-year anniversary of the composer and conductor's birth. The performance of MASS, with the Guadete Brass, is sponsored by the Illinois Arts Council, the District 99 Education Foundation, and the DGN Friends of Fine Arts.

The Gaudete (pronounced gow-day-tay) Brass will also join forces with the Herrick Middle School Band on this concert.


And on Thursday, November 1 at 7:00 PM in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium the Symphonic Band, Jazz Lab Band and Jazz Ensemble will each perform a set of great music - come on in and enjoy, the perfect way to ward off the chill of a late Fall evening...

Hope you can make it out for these two evenings of what are sure to be wonderful musical performances!
