Dr. Jennifer Fox Oliverio, assistant professor of music and applied instructor of trumpet at Oakland University, will be performing at the 75th Annual Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, which will take place from Dec. 14-18 in Chicago, Ill.
This year’s conference is set to be the largest yet with more than 18,000 attendees from all 50 states and more than 40 countries, and will combine clinics, rehearsal labs, reading sessions, and world class performances.
“I’m thrilled to be performing at The Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic with the Athena Brass Band, named after the Greek goddess of wisdom,” Oliverio said. “This all-female ensemble features musicians and educators from top military bands, symphonies, and universities from across the United States.”
The Athena Brass Band will take the stage at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 16. Their program will include works by Nicole Piunno, Lucy Pankhurst, and Peter Graham to name a few.
