Have you ever wondered about the machinations involved in assembling a band?  What are the circumstances that bring a particular group of musicians together?  How are decisions made with regard to repertoire and the group’s aesthetic vision?  On Thursday, September 25th the CSI Stage Door series invites you to witness the “birth of a band” as five musicians convene for the first time to discuss, rehearse and perform on the stage of the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.  The audience will be able to watch the creative process in action as Ryan Nielsen (trumpet), Brent Jensen (saxophone), Justin Nielsen (piano), Aaron Miller (bass) and Scott Farkas (percussion) rehearse and perform original compositions.  The quintet will invite those in attendance to participate in an open discussion of the music and ask for help with naming the band.  Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be present at the inception of a collaborative quintet that combines the talents of music faculty members from CSI (Farkas, Jensen), BYU-Idaho (R. Nielsen, Miller) and the Fresco Academy (J. Nielsen).
