METAMORA  – The public is invited to an open rehearsal and discussion with the renowned composer, David Maslanka on Monday, November 17th, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Metamora HS Auditorium.  Maslanka is visiting Metamora to rehearse with the Metamora Wind Ensemble and speak with the students about composing. David Maslanka is the most-performed living composer for wind band. His music is widely known for its accessibility, its brilliant and imaginative orchestration, and its depth of expression. Maslanka has spent his artistic life exploring what can be called the dreamscape of music. Music, in his words, forms the “balance point between the conscious and unconscious minds.” His music fuels the active power of our waking life, and resonates in the deep pools of what he calls the “mystic, timeless part” of our being —”the part where dreams come from.”
The event is free and open to the public.  For more information call: 309-367-4151 x570
