The University of Wisconsin Symphony Band conducted by Dr. Kristin Tjornehoj will premiere two pieces by Javier Pérez Garrido. The concert will be held at the University of Wisconsin River Falls (Abbot Concert Hall), on Thursday 19th.

This recognized american wind ensemble will perform for the very first time in the United States the sinfonietta nº1 Op.63 Last Day of the Dinossaurs. This symphonic band work was commissioned to Javier by Banda Sinfónica del Centro Instructivo Musical “La Armónica de Buñol” Valencia, Spain, and worldwide premiered during the WASBE Conference 2019.

Likewise, those attending the event on March 19th -at 7:30 pm- will witness the world presentation of the two trumpets and band version of Concertino de los Filabres, Op.54a. This band music composition was originally composed for four trumpets and premiered during the 38th International Trumpet Guild, Michigan (2013), by trumpeters José Chafer, Rex Richardson, Richard Stoelzel and James Ackley.

Kristin Tjornehoj is considered one of the most recognized women in the US band leadership scene. She earned a PhD from the University of Minnesota, and is currently conducting The Three Rivers Concert Band.
