MURFREESBORO — MTSU's Wind Ensemble will close its
2013-14 season, which featured the international release of a second Naxos
classical CD, with a
free public concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10, in
Hinton Music Hall inside MTSU's Wright Music Building.
MTSU’s premier
performing ensemble for wind, brass and percussion students will be joined in
their special concert by a return guest, world-renowned
trumpet soloist Jens Lindemann, who performed with the group at their spring
2013 closing concert.
Lindemann, a former member of the Canadian Brass who has
recorded with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and presented a solo Royal Command
Performance for Queen Elizabeth II, has performed as a soloist and recording
artist with classical stars such as Sir Neville Marriner, Sir Angel Romero, Doc
Severinsen, Charles Dutoit, Gerard Schwarz, Eiji Oue and Bramwell Tovey.
At the
April 10 concert, Lindemann will perform two selections with the Wind Ensemble.

MTSU's Wind Ensemble continues to
stand alone among Tennessee university bands after this winter’s release of its
second CD, “Earthrise," a collaboration with three international
composers, on one of the world's most prestigious classical labels.
MTSU boasts the only university
band in Tennessee with recordings released by Naxos of America, the Franklin,
Tenn., U.S. headquarters for the Hong Kong-based Naxos classical music group.
Dr. Reed Thomas, director of bands
and a professor of music and conducting in MTSU's renowned School of Music, conducted
the Wind Ensemble for "Earthrise" as well as the 2011 release
"Angels in the Architecture." Thomas also will conduct the April 10
concert in Hinton Hall.
