ollowing the success of its inaugural showcase concert in the Twin Cities last spring, the Gustavus Adolphus College Department of Music is taking its 2006 Music Showcase to Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis on Sunday, March 12. The showcase, which is slated to begin at 2 p.m., features individual performances by the College’s three premier touring ensembles—the Gustavus Choir, the Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, and the Gustavus Wind Orchestra. The
Gustavus Choir, led by conductor Gregory Aune, is now planning for a South American tour in 2007. The Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Warren Friesen, played to overflow audiences in China in 2004. The Gustavus Wind Orchestra, led by conductor Douglas Nimmo, has just returned from a concert tour of east-central Europe. “The Gustavus Music Showcase is a special opportunity for musicians at Gustavus to display their musical talents for a new audience
in an exciting venue,” says senior Colin McGuire, who is concertmaster of the Gustavus Symphony Orchestra. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $10 for students 18 and under. Call the Orchestra Hall box office at 612/371-5656 or 800/292-4141 for ticket information and reservations. A reception in the Orchestra Hall lobby follows the concert.
