Capitol Quartet will be a featured performing ensemble at the 76th Midwest Clinic, held December 19-22, 2022, at McCormick Place in Chicago. CQ will be performing on Tuesday, December 20, at 12:15pm in W-183.
The performance will include our own exciting and original arrangements of classical, jazz and folk compositions, standard saxophone quartet repertoire, and the premiere of Carter Pann’s Eight Saxophones, along with special guests, the h2 Quartet.
Capitol Quartet members Christopher Creviston, Joseph Lulloff, and David Stambler joined forces with saxophonist and Cal State Professor Chika Inoue for a week of lectures, master classes, and recitals. We were delighted to work with and play for lots of great saxophone students on the west coast!
What a pleasure to have festival coordinator Chika join us on baritone for the finale!
