Master Class Location at Quandre Concert, February 8th
(Contributors: Mike & Kami Hettwer, edited by Jesse Seeley)
As a final reminder and update to the Quandre Concert, the Master Class will be held at Willamette University in the Cone Chapel at 4:00 p.m. with the concert following at 7:30 in Hudson Hall. A campus map in PDF format can be found at: www.willamette.edu/map/campus_map.pdf

Below is a reprint of the concert background and other details in a previous newsletter.

Especially for horn players and enthusiasts, but open to all interested in music, and FREE is a great price! On Friday, February 8th, QUADRE - an awesome horn quartet from San Francisco - will be giving a master class and concert at Willamette University. They will be visiting a couple of Salem high schools earlier in the day and then presenting their master class at 4 PM in Cone Chapel and an evening concert at 7:30 in Hudson Hall, both at Willamette University. Both events are FREE! They will also be performing at U of O on Feb. 5 and at the Old Church in Portland in a joint concert with the Northwest Horn Orchestra (a 16 piece horn ensemble made up of area professional horn players) at 7:30 on Feb. 7. Please try to make it to the Willamette U. events so that we can show our support of these types of opportunities and give this group a great audience. If you are interested in participating in the master class by playing part of a solo that you are working on and receiving some free coaching, let me (Mike Hettwer) know. I would like to have 4 to 6 people ready to go for the master class. Having your accompanist there would be a real plus.
