October 8, 2014
MACOMB, IL - Composer, trumpeter and teacher Anthony Plog will visit Western Illinois University from 1-3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16 in Browne Hall, room 220.
This guest trumpet master class will include Plog's presentation, along with three performances from students and a discussion devoted to the "music student of today."
Plog's music has been performed in over 30 countries, and he is the recipient of numerous grants and commissions, including the National Endowment of Arts, The Malmo Symphony, the Chicago Chamber Musicians, and many others.
At the beginning of his career, Plog wrote exclusively for brass, but has broadened his compositional horizons and now writes in many different mediums. He has written three children's operas, a major tragic opera, "Spirits," based on a Holocaust theme, and has recently finished his latest opera about a drove operator who is having a nervous breakdown, "The Sacrifice."
