The Quest

CommissionsConcert MusicOriginal Composition
Written By Clarence Hines

The Quest, one of my original compositions for wind ensemble, will be performed on April 15th in a concert by the University of North Florida Wind Symphony. This work was commissioned by Dr. Gordon Brock for a 2011 premiere at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts that featured Bunky Green, legendary alto saxophonist and former UNF Director of Jazz Studies. This upcoming performance of The Quest will feature Todd DelGiudice, alto saxophonist and UNF Professor, as Dr. Gordon Brock celebrates his final performance with the UNF Wind Symphony before retiring at the end of this semester.
