The Bozeman Trail Chamber Players features wind instruments (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn) with the dynamic addition of percussion, playing concerts around Montana for delighted audiences of all ages since 2015. Drawing from a rich chamber music repertoire, the ensemble will present music ranging from the majesty of the High Baroque, to the playfulness of ragtime and original jazz-influenced works. The group’s performers include Mary Ann Jacobson, clarinet, Alan Leech, bassoon, Karen Leech, flute, Greg Notess, French horn, Sandra Stimson, oboe, with Jeff Vick, percussion. The performance on May 17^th will include classical works by Telemann and Mozart, popular music including Mancini’s The Pink Panther and Joplin’s The Cascades (A Rag), and several original compositions written for the group by Alan Leech. These original compositions will include A Cretaceous Zoo originally written for and presented at the Museum of the Rockies and Sun-Dappled Riverflow - a recent composition that is a picture in sound of flowing water with sparkles from the sun on the rippling surface. Alan Leech is a long-time member of the orchestra recently celebrating 46 seasons with the organization.

 

Tenor Lukas Graf will perform a program of musical theater and opera with guests Jessica Graf, Soprano, and Sandra Stimson, Oboe. The ensemble will present works by J.S. Bach, Vaughan Williams, Rossini, Bernstein, Gershwin, and more.
