Canadian Winds Journal - Concert Programs

(This is a letter from Dr.Fraser Linklater, Assistant Editor, Canadian Winds)

Dear Colleague,

Happy New Year!!   On the Canadian Band Association’s website, http://www.canadianband.ca/ we publish recent concert programs from bands across Canada.  It would be great to have a program FROM EVERY “LEVEL” (junior high school, senior high school, university, community, military) and FROM EVERY PROVINCE!!

Now that January has arrived, there’s one more task I’d like to ask of each of you!   Please forward me  your most recent concert program  for inclusion on the CBA website.  Sharing the repertoire that each of us performs is one of the important functions of a national association, and I hope that you will take a moment to do so. 

In most cases, simply emailing me an attachment including your most recent concert program will do the trick!!

Please include the following information:

            •  province

            •  name(s) of ensemble(s)

            •  name of school (where applicable)

            •  date(s) of performance(s)

            •  name of conductor(s)

            •  names of any guest conductors

            •  full title of each work (including key and opus number, where applicable)

            •  numbers and/or names of movements performed, where applicable

            •  full name of composer for each work

            •  full name of arranger for each work (where applicable)

            •  name(s) of any soloists

            •  Canadian music (if a piece was written or arranged by a Canadian, please indicate)

 

                           Attention to correct spellings will be much    appreesheeated    :<)

 

Many thanks for your valued assistance and best wishes for a safe, happy, healthy and musical New Year!   Cheers!
