HAMMOND – The Southeastern Guitar Ensemble, directed by Instructor Patrick Kerber,
will perform its fall concert on Dec.1, at 7:30 p.m. in Pottle Auditorium.
The free program will feature music for guitar duo, guitar trio, guitar with
trumpet, two guitars and voice, and the full ensemble of 10 guitars.
“This will be a typical guitar ensemble concert that will present music in fairly
atypical formats,” Kerber said. “It will be a ‘something for everyone’ program with
music from the German Renaissance, to the Spanish Romantic repertoire, to arrangements
of South American folk songs, Central American guitar music, and American jazz.”
The concert will feature guest artists Austin Dugas-Higdon on trumpet, who will
perform Ray Noble’s jazz standard “Cherokee” with guitarist Ken Turner. Soprano Stephanie
Arledge will perform two Spanish art songs: Enrique Granados’ “El tra la la,” and
Manuel de Falla’s “Asturiana” with guitarists Blake Guidry and Brandi Callais. The
songs were arranged for Blake Guidry.
