Today the CSU Faculty Chamber Winds were honored to perform the opening concert at the Mid-Europe Festival for Wind Music.

The diverse program included works by Rossini, Debussy, Mendelssohn, and Copland, and the attentive audience loved it! A crowd favorite was the highly entertaining Copland songs featuring baritone, John Seesholtz.

“Excellent! Well balanced,” Kevin Sedatole – director of the World Youth Wind Orchestra Project and director of bands at Michigan State University College of Music – told Seesholtz after the concert.

The ensemble didn’t stop there and continued the evening with a performance in a church in Aus im Ennstal, an equally gorgeous village next to Schladming. More about that magical performance to come from Ensemble Director Richard Frey.
