Event Details

Our March 10th concert "Songs of the Earth" will offer the audience a special glimpse into the endless variety of music written for the modern wind band.

This concert will display the harmonic, rhythmic and textural capabilities of our ensemble by performing music of Cajun, Armenian, Medieval, Contemporary and Popular styles. In other words, something for everyone!

Our featured soloist is Encore's virtuoso tubist Dr. Jerry Young. He will perform a medley of nautical tunes titled "Away, I'm Bound Away."

Dr. Jerry A. Young is Professor Emeritus of Music at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire where he worked from 1983 to 2016 and is currently adjunct instructor of tuba at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan. His former students enjoy successful careers as music educators, in music industry and in leading orchestras and military bands in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Jerry was president of the International Tuba – Euphonium Association from 2013 – 2015 and formerly served as editor-in-chief of the Association’s quarterly journal. His edition of theArban Complete Method for Tuba (co-edited by Leelanau County’s Wesley Jacobs and published by Encore Music Publishing, also headquartered in The County) has been the best-selling tuba method in the world for over twenty years. The 1999 Distinguished Alumnus of the University Of Arkansas Department Of Music and a Fellow of the Fulbright Academy of the University of Arkansas, Young has appeared across the U.S., Europe and Japan as a soloist, chamber musician, clinician, and adjudicator. In 2016 he was the recipient of the Orpheus Award (from Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia) for significant and lasting contributions to the cause of music in America. Former faculty members at the Interlochen Arts Camp, Jerry and his wife, Dr. Barbara Young, a widely sought-after collaborative pianist, moved to Leelanau County, Michigan in the spring of 2017.
