Join the Cumberland Quintet, the faculty wind quintet in residence at Tennessee Tech University’s School of Music, on Wednesday, April 6 at 7:30 P.M. as they celebrate their 50th-anniversary season. The Cumberland Quintet, comprised of flutist Dr. Mary Matthews, oboist Dr. Michael Adduci, clarinetist Dr. Mark J. Cramer, bassoonist Dr. Jeff Womack, and hornist Dr. Greg Danner, will present a program of five works by living composers, featuring three world premieres commissioned for this anniversary concert: Lift Up by Nicole Chamberlain, Interchanging Parts by Tennessee Tech music alum Aaron Hunt, and Les Adieux by Mathieu Lussier. Additional works include Into the Blue, written by Cumberland Quintet member and TTU faculty composer Greg Danner, and Suite for Wind Quintet by Amanda Harberg. The concert is a celebration of the quintet’s rich past, exciting present, and vision for the future.
