American Emblems
Product Description A selection of significant compositions written specifically for concert band by prominent American composers. Review "First class music making isn't just for top professionals--not when those doing the playing are the wonderful performers who make up the Northshore Concert Band. Here you have the enthusiastic drive, the fresh appeal of the dedicated amateur coupled to musical skills set by the highest professional standards." -- Frederick Fennell, Conductor, Tokyo Kosei Wind Ensemble "The Northshore Concert Band is one of America's finest community bands. I found it to possess the qualities of a top-flight ensemble in its musicianship, technical proficiency, and response. Yes, this is truly a fine band!" -- William D. Revelli, Conductor Emeritus, University of Michigan Bands "To say that the Northshore Concert Band represents amateur music making at the highest possible level is, at least to me, an even greater compliment than to call them a fully professional organization. I consider the opportunities I have had to work with this group as among the most productive and enjoyable I have known in my career, and I would hope that we may continue in this vein for many years to come." -- Alfred Reed, Composer About the Artist The Northshore Concert Band is widely regarded as one of the premier music ensembles of its type. Since 1956 the band has performed hundreds of concerts for audiences throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States. The Northshore Concert Band consists of 115 members from the greater Chicagoland area. See more
