Five students in the University of Evansville’s Department of Music have been selected to participate in the 2012 Indiana Intercollegiate Band, a prestigious ensemble of 75 top musicians from colleges and universities across Indiana.
The following students will perform with the band: Caleb Gorrell, a music major from Bixby, Oklahoma; Travis Guffey, a music education major from Elberfeld, Indiana; Jessica Handy, a music therapy major from Lawrenceburg, Kentucky; Chelsea Masolak, a music therapy major from Crown Point, Indiana; and Meghan Pund, a music education major from Santa Claus, Indiana.
After two days of rehearsal on January 19 and 20, the band will perform a concert at 1:00 p.m. Friday, January 20 in the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The event is held in conjunction with the annual Indiana Music Educators Association conference.
Allan McMurray, professor of music and director of bands at the University of Colorado, will serve as guest conductor. Considered one of the world’s leading teachers of conducting, McMurray has guest-conducted and taught conductors in 45 states and 15 countries.
The UE students are all members of the UE Wind Ensemble, conducted by Kenneth Steinsultz, assistant professor of music and director of bands at the University.
