Wind Ensemble Concert

Wednesday was Derek’s first formal Wind Ensemble concert. This is the group he was working so hard to be a part of. They are very professional and their conductor is extremely accomplished. David Martins is Professor of Music at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Adjunct Professor of Music at Boston University. He has degrees from the Eastman School of Music and UML, College of Music and was a recipient of a Berkshire Music Festival Tangelwood Fellowship. He is the Music Director of the UML Wind Ensemble, Boston University Wind Ensemble and The Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Wind Ensembles. He is Music Director Emeritus of the Metropolitan Wind Symphony and on and on. Derek is very inspired by him.
