FROST WIND ENSEMBLE Message from the Dean On behalf of Robert Carnochan, our gifted students, and my faculty colleagues, we are proud to present our Frost Wind Ensemble to the distinguished and discriminating audience of the Florida Music Educators Conference.

Dr. Carnochan has selected a program that reflects the unique values and excellence of the Frost School of Music, where our motto is “Build Yourself”. We encourage students to curate artistry and skill sets that are both deep and broad, in a diverse, un-siloed environment. The Frost School represents the best of time-honored traditions, while preparing graduates for relevant careers in the 21st century.

The repertoire for this evening reflects the Frost School’s values. Carlos Simon’s “AMEN!” honors the African American church tradition, while Jennifer Jolley’s “The Eyes of the World Are Upon You” pays homage to the fallen and asks for our better angels to prevail in the wake of tragedy. This evening’s performance is dedicated to all those at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Brad Warnaar’s “New Alliances” is a tour de force composed for our virtuosic Professor Richard Todd, one of the world’s foremost artists - known for his breathtaking sound, agility, and formidable improvisation skills. Our program closes with a time-tested masterpiece, Hindemith’s monumental Symphony in B-flat. About the Frost School of Music
