COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (March 15, 2006) – A concert featuring the Cumberland Quintet, a faculty ensemble of Tennessee Tech University, will be presented on Thursday, March 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Wattenbarger Auditorium.

Works range from classical to 20th century compositions and include a trio for flute, oboe and clarinet by Haydn, an arrangement of songs from Kurt Weill’s “Threepenny Opera,” and a performance of Aaron Copland’s, “As It Fell Upon a Day,” by faculty guest vocalist Diane Pulte and the quintet’s flutist Roger Martin and clarinetist Anne Thurmond.

The Cumberland Quintet has been the standard by which wind composition has been set in the South and Midwest since their establishment in 1972.

Wattenbarger Auditorium is located inside the Bryan Fine Arts Building and the concert will be free and open to the public.
