Mr. Roselieb, Mr. Teague and Mr. Williams all hold
degrees from Northwestern University, as do soloists Kristin Bowers, Peter
Wilson, and Paul Von Hoff. Composer/Guest Conductor Don Owens is a
retired professor from NU. To celebrate the many Northwestern connections on the
concert, the Northwestern University Club of NYC is sponsoring a special
pre-concert gathering/light dinner. The Northwestern Alumni Association has opened up the event to any adult affiliated with DGN or DGS who would like to join them for dinner and conversation prior
to the big concert.

Northwestern University on March 2nd at 5:30 PM at Whiskey Trader,

fellowship with Northwestern University alumni and friends and family of the
performers. Northwestern University Professor Emeritus Don Owens will speak briefly to share an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how the
