The Tennessee Valley Winds will perform a free concert under the direction of Ken Singleton at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4 in Hinton Hall in the Wright Music Building on MTSU campus.
The concert is presented as a part of the Wind Band Conference held at Middle Tennessee State University.
Dr. Kenneth Singleton directs the UNC Wind Ensemble and Concert Band and is Chair of the Wind Conducting Program. He is presently conductor of the Denver Brass, the region's premiere brass ensemble.
Singleton is in constant demand around the nation as a guest clinician and conductor, and has conducted All-State Bands in New York, New Mexico, Tennessee, North Dakota and Colorado. Singleton is an elected member of the American Bandmasters Association, as well as a member of the Colorado Bandmasters Association Hall of Fame.
The Tennessee Valley Winds is a nonprofit, all-volunteer, self-supporting community band that has been providing quality musical performances since 1984.
The community band experience is unlike school or professional groups. Rarely do amateurs and professionals, young and old, get to work together. The opportunity to learn and grow is unique.
The director is more of a guide than an authority figure, and does not assign parts or solos. It is expected that all will help each other by offering suggestions and sharing. Friendships are born of shared work and musical enjoyment.
The TVW has been under the direction of Eric Scott in preparation for this concert. He is the band director at White House, Tenn. and a member of the TN Valley Winds as a trumpet player.
