Music appreciation students and community members will perform as the Crenshaw Chamber Orchestra for their first time as a collaborative group on Sept. 28 in the Campus Theatre.

The EC music department proudly presents the Artist-in-Residence Series. This series incorporates various performances by faculty members in the arts, communications, and music departments.

The classical debut entails three chamber collaborations each individually in charge of honoring world-renowned composers Glinka, Reinecke, and Mozart.

“Chamber music is wonderful because it is like having a conversation with the people with whom you play” Dr. Chambers-Salazar, Piano Studies Director said.

The first symphony dedicated to Glinka integrates three instruments. Chambers-Salazar will play the piano, Dane Teter, director of applied instruments, will add the bassoon, and James Mack will contribute with the clarinet.

Next on the agenda is a portion dedicated to Reinecke which features faculty member Annie Bosler.

The third and final portion, inspired by a Mozart symphony, incorporating the Crenshaw Chamber Orchestra composed mainly of community members as well as some EC students.

Various events have featured faculty members, but Chamber music assembles as a collection of many gems. The never before seen concert has faculty thrilled to show their skills among other talented individuals.

“I’m looking forward to making music with some wonderful colleagues and sharing it with the students,” Teter said.

Music appreciation students are among the projected attendees. However, invitations have been extended to community members or anybody in particularity interested in the arts.

Students can also benefit from the event as some faculty members will provide extra credit for attending.Dressing formal for the classical night is welcomed but not required.

“We are not concerned on the way students are dressed as long as they behave,” Teter said.
