The AMS music department is ecstatic to welcome Samuel Hazo to the band room on Thursday, February 25th. Mr. Hazo will be gracing each grade level with his expertise and creativity for an hour. We are sincerely thankful to the Medicine Hat Concert Band Society for providing us this opportunity at no cost. The following is a short excerpt from Mr. Hazo’s bio.
“Samuel R. Hazo resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his wife and children. In 2003, Mr. Hazo became the first composer in history to be awarded the winner of both composition contests sponsored by the National Band Association. He has composed for the professional, university and public school levels in addition to writing original scores for television, radio and the stage. His original symphonic compositions include performances with actors Brooke Shields, James Earl Jones, David Conrad and Richard Kiley. He has also written symphonic arrangements for three-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams.”
