IET 2020 - New Feature - LEGEND Series

[davewerden]

This year's IET will be happening in a virtual environment. In addition to the customary activities, they are adding a Legend series this year. I'm proud to be participating in that part. In Adam Frey's words:

I had discussed many times the idea of bringing together the LEGENDS of our instruments for a question and answer and storytelling session. Flying everyone to Atlanta was not really possible and I know Kathy Brannigan did something like this at ITEC 2006 but I wanted to expand it and make it happen virtually!

These will be 90-minute discussions with a moderator and 3-4 other legends. Topics will include teachers, history of TUBA, conductors, players, inspiration, relationships with other brass players.

I hope some of you can join these discussions! And I hope you can participate in the full festival as well.
