Composers Biedenbender and Samuel Clinic DGN Band


David Biedenbender (Composer and Professor of Composition at Michigan State University), was on campus Friday to work with members of the DGN Wind Ensemble as they prepare to play his composition Melodious Thunk on the April 28 "Graduation Concert." 


Earlier in the week, students worked via video-conference with composer David Samuel (Director of Bands, Foley High School - AL). The Wind Ensemble will perform Samuel's recent work Haven's Conviction on the April 28 program.

It was exciting and eye-opening to work directly with these award-winning composers and to gain their direct insight regarding interpretation of their music.
