Hello all,

On Saturday, April 23, I will be giving a faculty recital at Wheaton College, Illinois. The recital, at 2:00 pm (Central Time) in the Concert Hall in the Armerding Center for the Arts on the Wheaton College campus (520 E. Kenilworth Ave, Wheaton; there's plenty of free parking behind Edman Chapel nearby), celebrates the 46th anniversary of my 1976 senior recital when I was a student at Wheaton College. Now that I'm turning 67 next month, I guess I really am a senior, so I've titled this recital, A <I>Senior</I> Recital. I'll be playing bass trombone, carbon fiber bass trombone, six-valve trombone, serpent, and ophicleide, and I'll be accompanied by piano, organ, and prerecorded track. Three of my Wheaton College students will join me for a trombone quartet.

You can see and download the program and program notes here:

In addition, anyone who comes to the recital will receive a complimentary copy of the newly released CD, "Like a River Glorious," which features performances by the Wheaton College Trombone Quartet from 1974–1976. That quartet included James Roskam, Eric Carlson (who recently retired from 30+ years in the Philadelphia Orchestra), William Meena, and me. That CD is not for sale - we've produced it as a giveaway project to promote Wheaton College's music program. It will only be given away to prospective students and those who attend this recital.

The recital will be streamed live at [url]https://www.wheaton.edu/streaming but, of course, that won't be the same as being there. And I can't put a free CD in your hand over the live stream.

I'm not getting paid to play this recital but the College charges a modest admission fee for faculty recitals. Except students of any age (from young kids through college) are free. General admission is $10, seniors over age 60 are $5.

I don't use social media but if you know people in the Chicago area who might be interested in coming to this recital, please let them know. I think it will be a fun time. Thanks very much.





With best wishes to all,

Douglas Yeo

I'll be looking for it. Thanks for letting everyone know, Doug!
