Harry Watters, an award winning trombone artist, will be featured as a guest performer during the Sinclair Community College Wind Symphony’s concert.<\/p>\n
The Symphony will host Watters Saturday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. under the direction of Kenneth Kohlenberg.<\/p>\n
“I first heard of him at a music convention in Chicago three years ago,” said Kohlenberg.<\/p>\n
Kohlenberg who attends the Midwest clinic every year in December said that at the end of his performance the people in the room was on their feet clapping.<\/p>\n
Watters is sponsored by Jupiter Band Instrument Company and has played with artists such as Al Hirt, Kevin Mahogany to Shirley Jones and many others as well.<\/p>\n
“We are very fortunate that his schedule was free,” said Kohlenberg.<\/p>\n
This concert will feature four jazz melody pieces with Watters, which include: “Flag of Stars,” “Yosemite Autumn,” “Fiesta del Pacifico” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” along with two others.<\/p>\n
These pieces will feature a jazz combo along with bass, piano and drums.<\/p>\n
Watters will perform two encore pieces that include “Flight of the Bumblebee” and “Embraceable You” that have been performed with the Army Blues Jazz Ensemble and the U.S. Army Brass Quintet. He has also been featured with many symphony orchestras around the world.<\/p>\n
The concert is free and open to the public along with a master class instructed by Watters that will be held on Friday Jan. 30 from 4 -6 p.m.<\/p>\n
