Actually, Lake Forest, IL. Deerpath Middle School to be exact!
The Deerpath Middle School Orchestras premiered "Erebus" on Monday, May 16. I had the opportunity to rehearse the orchestras Monday morning and then conduct the premiere at their concert that evening. The kids were a hoot - lots of middle school energy and excitement. Their teacher, Ms. Sarah Truding, along with her colleagues and family, was amazing. She's a great teacher and her family were kind enough to run me all over town during my stay.
It's always fun to be able to bring a new work to life. It's even MORE fun to bring it to life with a group of people who care!
Thanks, DPMS! YOU ROCK!
