The Morrison Center Chamber Players, a music ensemble from Boise State
University, placed second at the Music Teacher National Association’s annual
competition in Austin, Texas.
The group includes Christina Wilson, flute; Jeff Gander, oboe; Katie
Matsuura, clarinet; Laura Davis, bassoon; Josh Vargas, horn; and Maria
Klyutkina, piano. They played a full program of works by Mozart, Debussy,
Ligeti, Hindemith and Poulenc during the competition, which included music
by seven groups. Each group had won collegiate state and divisional rounds
to qualify for the finals, and competing schools included Brigham Young
University, the Blair School at Vanderbilt University and Indiana
University. First place went to the Eastman School at the University of
Rochester.
Three of the Morrison Center Chamber Players have been working together
since their freshman year. The players are coached by Jeanne Belfy and
taught by Nicole Molumby, Ritchard Maynard, Janelle Oberbillig, Davis
Saunders and James Cook. They will play at the Boise State University Top
Ten Scholars Banquet in April.
