Wolfgang Expectations of Members

than two rehearsals per season. Dress rehearsal and concerts are required for participation in Wolfgang.

basic black concert attire.

Tell Overture, Prokofiev’s March, Op. 99, Morton Gould’s American Salute,
Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1, R. Rodgers Victory at Sea, Schonberg’s Les Misérables
Selections, Leigh’s The Impossible Dream from “Man of La Mancha,” Weber’s Memory
from “Cats,” and Fillmore’s Lassus Trombone.

Duke Ellington’s Satin Doll, Solitude, & It Don’t Mean a Thing, the Spiritual Never Gonna
Walk This Journey Alone, Zaumeyer‘s Alleluia, D. Wood‘s Slow Me Down, &

“As your conductor, it is my hope to bring to you the finest and most challenging music from the
master composers. I believe and expect that every member can, and will, rise to the level of performance of which we all may
be proud. The Conductor’s mission is to constantly advance the individual player’s skills and the ensemble’s
performance capability. I will challenge you to be a professional player, regardless of your age. There are great composers
that need to be heard through their music, and heard most intimately in the PLAYING of their music. We will sit side by
side with S. Barber, G. Rossini, S. Prokofiev, M. Gould, F. J. Haydn, H. Fillmore, R. Rodgers and J. Rutter. We will get to
know them well.”
Musically,
Dennis A. Noon
