At 4 PM on Sunday NAfME’s All-National Honor Ensembles will perform a concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington,DC.
The 295 young musicians met the eligibility requirements of the National Association for Music Education’s state and division associations, and submitted audio auditions for a juried competition. The student musicians traveled to Baltimore from across the country, and are rehearsing with four nationally recognized conductors:
Concert Band: Daniel Bukvich, professor of percussion and theory and director of jazz choir at the Hampton School of Music at the University of Idaho.
Orchestra: David Becker, director of orchestral studies and conductor of the Symphony and Opera Orchestras at the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Choir: Sandra Snow is associate professor of music education and choral conducting at Michigan State University in Lansing.
Jazz Band: Terrell Stafford is professor of music and director of jazz studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
