| « New CD - Now Available | Penta Brass Festival in Italy » |
Friends, it is with great sadness that I let you know that Fred Mills was involved in a fatal car accident on Sept 7. It is a terrible thing for sure and the brass world will miss him dearly. I was lucky enough to study with Fred at UGA and have him as a great supporter of my music. We also recorded the Wilhelm Duett Concertino for Trumpet, Euphonium, and Piano on the Beyond the Horizon Volume 1 CD. I will miss speaking with him and seeking his advice greatly.
I feel VERY fortunate to have spent last week with him during the brass festival in Italy.
There will be a memorial concert for him in Athens, GA on Sept 20 at 3:00 PM at the University of Georgia where he taught. You can watch it live at via the link at:
