This performance is her DMA recital. \nJoanna McCoskey Wiltshire is a clarinetist\, teacher and conductor based in Winston-Salem\, NC. She is a DMA candidate at UNC Greensboro studying clarinet performance. She currently works as a clarinet instructor at the UNCSA Community Music School in Winston-Salem\, Upbeat Music Company in Lewisville and maintains an active private studio. \nIn 2020\, Joanna completed a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Clarinet Performance from UNC Greensboro studying with Dr. Andy Hudson and Dr. Anthony Taylor. Joanna received M.M. degrees in Clarinet and Wind Conducting Performance in 2018 from the University of Delaware (UD) where she studied with Dr. Christopher Nichols\, Dr. Lauren Reynolds\, Dr. Chad Nicholson\, and Dr. Michael Knight. She also received her B.M. in Music Education from UD in 2014 \nIn addition to her work as a clarinet instructor\, Joanna is also an active performer in the Piedmont Triad. She has played with Piedmont Wind Symphony as a section clarinetist\, the Salem Band as a section first clarinetist and Eb clarinetist\, and Salem Saxophone Quartet as a tenor saxophonist.

I grew up playing and singing much of this repertoire at the piano\, learning a lot about writing melody from this incredible era of songwriting. Each movement of this work plays with these popular themes\, sometimes using an interval\, a few notes\, or a line from within the work as inspiration\, allowing the E-Flat clarinet to shine by playing with range\, color\, and extended techniques. I also liked the idea of linking pieces together that spoke of stars and the moon – a popular theme of this era! \nIt was an honor to write this piece for Elizabeth Crawford. She premiered the work during the Clarimania Festival in Wrocław\, Poland in April 2015. \nStardust for solo E flat clarinet is available on Jenni’s website at Stardust – solo E-flat clarinet sheet music (jennibrandon.com) \n

SUMMARY:Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble Performs Jenni Brandon’s “Five Frogs”
DESCRIPTION:The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble\, The Mistral Five Wind Quintet\, brings you a premiere performance of Jenni Brandon’s Five Frogs on\, Saturday\, January 15\, 2022 at 7:30PM. This is a live stream concert at New Beginnings | ConcertStream \nThe Chamber Ensemble’s Allison Miller and Max Ostic dig into the music of Pierre-Max Dubois’ “Petite Suite”\, while the Mistral Five Wind Quintet brings you the Saskatchewan premiere performance of Jenni Brandon’s Five Frogs! \nThe performance concludes with a complete performance of Johannes Brahms’ beautiful “Serenade in D Major\, Opus 11”. A piece that served as a new beginning for Brahms\, the work reflected on the death of his friend Robert Schumann and looked to a new musical future that Brahms set out to achieve. \n24-hour live stream ticket prices\, for this event\, are $19.99\, $35\, $50. Purchase a Digital Streaming Ticket \n“Five Frogs for Woodwind Quintet” allows each of the instruments to tell the story of a frog\, from leaping to lazing on a lily pad and was inspired by “One Hundred Frogs “by Hiroaki Sato\, a little book that takes a look at one hundred different haikus\, sonnets\, prose poems\, and even limericks based on Bashô’s haiku\, “Old Pond/Frog jumps in/The sound of water”. Each of the instruments in the ensemble is so different and so exceptional in their sound and abilities that I realized each one could be one of the frogs from the book. The clarinet is perfect for “Leaping” because of its agility and grace\, the way a frog can be still one minute and gone the next. “Catching Bugs” gave me the opportunity to use the piccolo and allow the ensemble to run ‘amuck’ after their bug dinner. Finally\, in “Epilogue” all the frogs sing together\, each one bringing their own musical motive into this final movement. \nFive Frogs is available\, on line\, from Boosey and Hawkes Chamber Music (48018979)

SUMMARY:“Places we are From”\, by Jenni Brandon\, Performed At The University of Idaho Double Reed Day
DESCRIPTION:“Places we are From”\, by Jenni Brandon\, is performed at the University of Idaho\, Lionel Hampton School of Music (LHSOM) Double Reed Day on Saturday\, January 22\, 2022. The Lionel Hampton School of Music Double Reed Faculty (Teodora Proud – oboe\, and Javier Rodriguez – bassoon) host the LHSOM Double Reed Day 2022 with special guests Susan Hatch Tomkiewicz – oboe\, and Stephanie Patterson – bassoon from Columbus State University (GA) with Adam Shapiro – baroque oboe. \nThis is a day designed for high school and college students full of double reed activities and master classes will culminate in a recital at 3 p.m. in the University Auditorium featuring faculty\, guest artists and all participating members in a double reed band performance!

The recital program can be viewed at the preceding link. \nRegister for the event here: https://forms.office.com/r/MCWYvJypwg. \nThe event will be live streamed with link To Be Published (TBP). \n“Places We Are From” for oboe\, bassoon\, and piano is a new work by Jenni Brandon. It explores the idea of identity and where we come from both geographically\, physically\, and spiritually. This unique exploration is reflected in the make-up of the 3 different instrumentations options for this work\, using these combinations to tell stories of joy\, hope\, frustration\, and perseverance. The colors and combinations in each version reflect a vision of discovering who we are in unprecedented times and finding happiness in the journey. \nPlaces We Are From received its first world premiere during the International Double Reed Society Conference 2nd Virtual Symposium – July 26-31\, 2021. This work is the recipient of the IDRS “50 for 50” commissioning grant in celebration of the organization’s 50th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Vox Grata Presents Two Performances\, in Nashville\, of “We Are Home” for SSAA\, Piano\, and Percussion by Jenni Brandon
DESCRIPTION:Vox Grata presents two performances of “We Are Home” for SSAA\, piano\, and percussion by Jenni Brandon. The first performance is on January 27\, 2022\, 7:30PM at the Westminster Presbyterian Church\, 3900 West End Avenue\, Nashville\, TN 37205. The second performance is on February 1\, 2022\, 7:30PM at the Second Presbyterian Church\, 3511 Belmont Blvd Nashville\, TN 37215. Vox Grata sings concert programs that directly benefit the needs of women in the Nashville community. For information about performances\, please contact Vox Grata at voxgratainfo@gmail.com or fill out the form at this link https://voxgrata.com/contact/ \nVox Grata is comprised of joyful women who\, out of gratitude for the fullness of their own lives\, possess a desire to sing together for the benefit of others. The group performs repertoire that expresses a uniquely feminine spirit\, especially works that promote the best interests of women in society. \nVox Grata sings concert programs that directly benefit the needs of women in the Nashville\, Tennessee community. \nVox Femina Los Angeles commissioned We Are Home (SSAA choir\, percussion\, piano sheet music) under the direction of Dr. Iris Levine. Iris approached me to write this piece to fit onto their themed concert “Half the Sky: Hear Our Voices”\, and in particular to fit the section of the concert that spoke of “Home”. Because this would be a very personal piece for Vox\, I asked Iris to have the women write me stories\, poems\, haikus\, and anything else that helped them describe what “home” meant to them in singing with Vox. What I got was an incredible collection of texts\, written from the heart\, about their experiences and the joy that came from being a part of this singing community. I began to take phrases\, words\, and ideas from these texts and draw them together to create the text that is used in this piece. Although I wrote the final text\, it is a compilation of the voices of these women. More universally\, however\, this piece reflects what it means to be a part of a community – to share something important and to come “home”. \nThe premiere of this work took place on Saturday\, March 22\, 2014\, at Zipper Concert Hall at the Colburn School of Music in Los Angeles\, California. It was an honor to write this piece for Iris and the women of Vox. \nWe Are Home\nText and inspiration by the Women of Vox Femina\nCompiled and arranged by Jenni Brandon \nWe are\nSinging for the soul and songs our mothers taught us.\nWe are\nDancing in between passion\, love\, and empathy. \nWe are\nFinding comfort in things\nfar more vast and eternal than us\, \nWe are everything possible. \nWe are\nImpassioned\, thoughtful\, kind\, and strong\,\nWe are\nWoman\, friend\, chosen sisters. \nWe are\nA kaleidoscope of women’s voices\nOffering serenity and comfort\,\nWe are home. \nA safe haven\,\nRefuge from the outside world.\nSanctuary. \nWe are home. \nWe Are Home (for SSAA\, piano\, and percussion sheet music is available on Jenni’s website at We Are Home – SSAA choir\, percussion\, piano sheet music (jennibrandon.com)
