Autumn photos sought for DePauw University Band concert

Monday, September 23, 2019

Dear fellow Putnam County residents:

For a Sunday, Oct. 6 concert, the University Band will perform, among a number of pieces, the beautiful work “October” by composer Eric Whitacre.  To accompany the performance, we would like to present a slideshow of favorite autumn scenes.

As a native New Englander, I grew up enjoying the explosions of orange, red, yellow and brown colors that transformed the many trees and forests of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut

So I would like to invite you to submit a favorite autumn landscape photo that we could include in the slideshow. Landscapes with changing leaves, such as trees, forests, farms, roads and lanes, covered bridges, etc. would be ideal in creating a visual representation of this wonderful work for band.

Digital photos can be submitted to Dr. Craig Paré at cpare@depauw.edu between now and Monday, Sept. 30.  Contributors will be credited for their submissions.

Thank you for your consideration, and I welcome any questions or thoughts that you might have regarding this invitation.
