UIS Music at Regional Tuba-Euphonium Conference

UIS Music was well represented at the Hawkeye Regional Tuba-Euphonium Conference, hosted by John Manning and held in March at the University of Iowa.

Todd Cranson and Rose Schweikhart made an invited presentation titled "Opportunities Abound: Innovation is the Key," which featured the UIS Celluba Quintet (Cranson and Schweikhart on tuba; Lynn Fisher, Marque Haupert, and Peter Shapinsky on cello) and the UIS Fiddle Band (Cranson on tuba, Schweikhart on euphonium, Sharon Graf on violin, and Brian Pryor on trumpet).

During the groups' warm-up and sound check, conference host Manning invited both to perform in the evening's "Midwest Showcase Concert" and Cranson was also invited to participate in the following day's panel discussion "New Currents in Deep Waters."
