Dear Friends,
I hope this finds you well-I met composer Douglas Hedwig when he moved to Chattanooga from New York, where he was a trumpet at the Metropolitan Opera and a professor at Brooklyn College. Needless to say, he has GREAT stories. He also has wonderful musical ideas, and now he shares those ideas through composition. CSO has commissioned a number of works from Doug, and I have enjoyed collaborating with him over the years.
Next week, CSO Brass Quintet is performing a piece by Doug, called Onyx. Doug and I spoke on Zoom about this piece, and I hope you find the conversation interesting:
Visit Doug's website for more information about him and his works:

The concerts are September 25 and 26th at Collegedale Commons. For more information, please visit:
See you soon!
