Greetings from the Department of Music at Radford University!
 

 

 

We are excited to offer your exceptional high school wind players an opportunity to significantly expand and develop their musicianship through participation in the 2nd Annual Tri-State Honors Chamber Wind Festival at Radford University.
 
This unique opportunity is limited to forty of the finest high school musicians in the SWVA-NETN-NWNC region and will feature master classes, quintet coaching, performances by outstanding professional brass and woodwind ensembles, and a featured performance by Participating Students alongside RU Principal Wind Players. Please note the itinerary for a more detailed description of the opportunities selected students will experience. Students will be selected based on recommendation and the instrumentation needs of four Woodwind Quintets (fl-ob-cl-bssn-hn) and three Brass Quintets (2trp-hn-trb-tuba)and a Saxophone Quintet. Schools may also submit intact ensembles for inclusion in the festival!
 


We ask that you consult with students who will most benefit from this type of musical experience and carefully complete the online Student Application Form. Please submit no more than 12 names, preferably one for each instrument and/or intact ensembles. The deadline for submission of recommendations is November 1st. Participants will be notified of their status on November 5, 2008. Music will be mailed to students on November 14, 2008.

We hope that many of your students will apply for participation in the Tri-State Honors Honors Chamber Wind Festival!
