Trio Ascendo3 leads master class, performs concert Friday
The music department is sponsoring a one-day residency by the trio Ascendo3, featuring saxophonists Joseph Wytko and Anna Marie Wytko and pianist Walter Cosand. The ensemble will lead a master class for performers and composers today (Friday) at 4 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium, and will present a concert this evening at 7:30 p.m., also in Bauman. All are invited to both events with no admission charge.
Ascendo3 will perform music for saxophones and piano, including arrangements of music by Vivaldi, Beethoven and Poulenc. Dr. Joseph Wytko will also perform “Psalm” for solo saxophone by GFU faculty composer Brent Weaver.
Dr. Joseph Wytko is professor emeritus at Arizona State University and has performed as a soloist and with ensembles all over the world. Dr. Anna Marie Wytko is an assistant professor at Kansas State University and has also performed concerts around the country; her appearance is supported in part by the Yamaha Corporation.
