A CELEBRATION OF THE MUSIC AND LEGACY OF WILMER WISE

ABRONS ART CENTER, JANUARY 13, 2010

DOORS OPEN 6pm, CONCERT 7:30pm


Performances by Dave Douglas, Wilmer Wise and several very special surprise guests. Meet and greet FONT performers at a pre-show reception. Proceeds benefit FONT Music’s nonprofit programs, including commissions of new trumpet music by emerging artists.


“Wilmer Wise’s extraordinarily diverse career clearly demonstrates his musical open–mindedness. He’s played in big bands with Lee Morgan and was the principal trumpet  player for Marlboro Music Festival and (for 35 years) the Brooklyn Philharmonic. He was the first-call guy for everyone from Leonard Bernstein to Stephen Sondheim, and he is still playing at the top of his game. Wilmer shows that all these streams of contemporary music are deeply intertwined; that American music is not about the differences between genres, but the conversations and exchanges amongst them.  That's what FONT is all about."  - Taylor Ho Bynum, Curator
