The Spectrum Brass Quintet is excited to announce that it is collaborating with universities across the country to commission a new work from composer Jim Stephenson. This new piece for brass quintet and band will be premiered by the Spectrum Brass Quintet in the fall of 2010. This work will be the centerpiece for a residency program designed to have a real impact on the students and audiences. Having SBQ in residence at your institution will leave your students motivated and better prepared to become part of the music industry. Each Spectrum Residency program can be custom tailored though its most common format is:
- 2-3 rehearsals with the concert band
- 1 performance of Jim Stephenson's new work for concert band
- 1 recital featuring all styles of important concert works for brass quintet
- master-classes/coachings with members of SBQ covering performing issues
- a clinic on music business with a focus on creating your own opportunities.
