Dr. Fansler was invited to share the morning with the Richwoods High School Wind Ensemble in Peoria. He says it was “musically satisfying. What an outstanding job Director Chris Render is doing!” The ensemble will represent its school at the “Showcase of Bands” in Feb. at WIU.

It was a pleasure to have Dr. Bruce Briney, WIU Trumpet professor and Quincy Symphony Orchestra director, conduct the WE while digging into Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F today! We look forward to performing this piece with our guest soloist, Po-Chuan Chiang, October 1st!
