If you are near the Twin Cities, please come to a free concert by the Civic Orchestra of Minneapolis, where I will be the euphonium soloist. It is Feb. 12 at 3pm at Wayzata Community Church (a Twin Cities western suburb). This is the first time I've done a solo in front of an orchestra. Previously the closest I got was an extensive euphonium solo from with the Eastern Connecticut Symphony on the "Age of Gold" by Shostakovitch.
Solos:
"Mephisto Masque" by Edmond Dede (the first performance of my orchestra restoration of this little-known work by a free-born black American. This is Black History Month, so it fits well)
"Morceau Symphonique" by Alexandre Guilmant
The orchestra will also play Beethoven's Leonore Overture, no. 3 and the colorful Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov.
