AUSTIN SYMPHONIC BAND "LITTLE GEMS FOR CONCERT BAND" CONCERT
Sunday, April 19, 2026 4:00pm Connally High School Austin, TX Step into a sonic treasure chest as the Austin Symphonic Band presents “Little Gems for Concert Band” — a dazzling showcase of compact pieces that sparkle with character and charm. The program opens with Bonelli’s Symphonic Concert March, a bold and spirited overture that sets the tone for an afternoon of musical variety. From the wistful lyricism of Autumn Leaves by Kosma to the quirky elegance of Satie’s Ratatouille Satirique, the first half dances between nostalgia and satire. Grainger’s Themes from “Green Bushes” rounds out the set with a lively folk-inspired romp. After intermission, the mood shifts to introspection with Alex Shapiro’s Moment, a hauntingly beautiful work blending wind textures with ambient soundscapes. The centerpiece of the second half is the world premiere of a new work by Young Composers’ Contest winner Viskamol Chaiwanichsiri, promising new perspectives and creativity. The concert concludes with Alfred Reed’s Second Suite for Band, a vibrant four-movement celebration of rhythms and melodies. From classic marches to modern meditations, this concert is a jewel box of musical delights — each piece a Little Gem. Please see the Austin Symphonic Band website for tickets and more details. |

ARIZONA WOMEN'S COLLABORATIVE - "LIGHT PERSISTS" CONCERT
Sunday, March 27, 2021
2:30pm AZ time
Recital Hall on ASU Campus and Livestream
Anne-Marie served on the leadership team for the fourth annual AWC concert, "Light Persists." The program included five new pieces in the spirit of this theme by women and non-binary creatives. When deciding on the theme "Light Persists," the leadership team had no idea of how events on the world stage would play out. There was a need to acknowledge to difficulty of the last few years and deeply delve into vulnerability. They asked the teams to reflect on resilience of the human spirit during times of stress, challenge, and profound loss. What is the drive that keeps us going? What is our personal and proverbial 'light' at the end of the tunnel? (Sponsored in partnership with Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.)
*For a limited time following the event, you can still watch the virtual concert on YouTube. The program is available here.

Monday, February 17, 2020
1:00 - 2:00pm
Fredericksburg High School Band Hall
Fredericksburg, TX

These techniques stand alone but can become a part of practicing and performing traditional repertoire as well. The class will also briefly introduce resources flutists can consult for further instructions and more information on these and related playing techniques.
Attendees will have the opportunity to try the extended techniques in a low-stress group environment with guidance from Anne-Marie, so make sure to bring your flute, open ears, and a curious mind!
This event is free and open to the public.
