The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Wind Ensemble has been invited to perform a full concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Wednesday, March 18, an invitation that marks a milestone opportunity for student musicians to perform on one of the world’s most iconic stages.
The Carnegie Hall program will include the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by internationally recognized composer Tyler S. Grant, a former student of Coleman. The piece was commissioned by Jenny D’Andrea in honor of her late husband, Tony D’Andrea, a longtime director of bands at UTC.
Jenny D’Andrea, a retired middle school and high school band director, will perform with the ensemble during the premiere. The concert will also feature a work with guest soloist Joseph Alessi, principal trombonist of the New York Philharmonic.
