Millennium'04 Music

Preserving the aesthetics of American
Classical Music

Director: Vernon W. Lewis

The young artist and musician of today have not been given this history and origin of standards established by the icons of American Classical music. The elders of American Classical music who are invaluable and possess many of our historical facts are not being served by the popular music of today; leaving a gap of resourcefulness in the provision of this information. Our objective is to lessen the gap through educational exercises and housing components of this band in an atmosphere of love for the music, safety, and high musical standards. This experience will offer all participants a broad application of programming opportunities for different band settings. These standards will enhance the general and professional musicianship of these artists in a continuous environment for music education
