DGN Wind Ensemble Performance This Week

Looking for a brief Fine Arts respite from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Consider stopping by Downers Grove South High School on Tuesday December 18th at 7 PM as the DGN Wind Ensemble joins the DGS Wind Ensemble for an exchange concert with the Musashino Exchange Band from Japan.

DGN will open the concert at 7 PM (performing "The Twelve Gallon Hat"). DGS will play second (one piece), and then Musashino will perform the program they will be presenting at the Midwest International Band & Orchestra Clinic later this week.

Joining Musashino will be Trumpet Soloist Christopher Martin. Mr. Martin is the Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic, and was formerly the Principal Trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. 

General Admission (free) seating will begin at 6:30 PM. We expect a full-house, so you are encouraged to be present when the house opens at 6:30 PM.

There will be an amazing display of musical talent on the DGS auditorium stage on Tuesday evening and it promises to be a night of memorable performances. You won't want to miss it!
