The University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance will welcome 558 music students from 101 high schools across Nebraska for the annual Honor Band & Choral Clinic on Monday, January 27th.
The day-long event, held on the UNK campus, brings together young musicians to collaborate and learn under the guidance of UNK faculty and renowned educators from across the state and nation. Participants will rehearse throughout the day in preparation for two public concerts at the Health & Sports Center.
The first performance, starting at 5:30 p.m., will feature the UNK Wind Ensemble, Festival Band and Honor Band. The second concert, at 7 p.m., will spotlight the UNK Choraleers, Treble Choir, Festival Choir and Honor Choir. Tickets for both concerts will be available for $3 at the Health & Sports Center beginning at 4:45 p.m. Admission is free for clinic participants and pre-school children.
“This event is a wonderful opportunity for high school students to enhance their musical skills while experiencing the energy and expertise of our faculty and guest clinicians,” said Brian Alber, associate professor of music and one of the event organizers.
