Kennesaw State University Philharmonic Orchestra is an orchestra for string players from across the university, including players who are non-music majors or music majors wishing to perform on a secondary string instrument. Playing in the Philharmonic is a great way for KSU students to continue enjoying musical experiences throughout their college years. The orchestra performs a wide variety of string orchestra literature from different time periods.

The orchestra is under the direction of Professor Christopher Thibdeau and rehearses on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:00-3:15 p.m. in the Bailey Performance Center. Each semester the orchestra performs approximately two concerts and collaborates with members of the KSU Wind Symphony to form a full symphony orchestra.

about the ensembles

The Harrison Orchestra Program is a part of the Cobb County School’s Fine Arts program. It is nestled in the beautiful Georgia pines of Kennesaw, Georgia, and is home to one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. Harrison High School currently houses over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 and is consistently rated

among the best schools in the county, state and national level. The program consists of four orchestras – Concert Orchestra, Classic Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and the Harrison Symphony Orchestra. The Concert Orchestra is composed of mostly freshmen that come mainly from the following middle schools: Durham Middle School (Jennifer Aikey, director), Lost Mountain Middle School (Linda Stephens, director), or McClure Middle School (Clare Mansell, director).

The Kennesaw State University Trumpet Ensemble has experienced tremendous growth over the last four years, now boasting nearly 20 members and a diverse calendar of performance opportunities. Recently, the ensemble travelled to the International Trumpet Guild conference, and performed a prelude concert before a nighttime showcase concert. The ensemble has also played at the Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, competed at the National Trumpet Competition, and been a featured ensemble at KSU for events ranging from the annual trumpet holiday concert to the opening of the Skip-Spann connector.

biographiesDOUGLAS LINDSEY, Lecturer of Music, Trumpet

Douglas Lindsey joined the faculty at Kennesaw State University in the fall of 2012, and is very active in the Southeast. Recently as a soloist,

he has been a featured artist with the Memphis Symphony, the Kennesaw State Orchestra, the Kennesaw State Wind Ensemble, the Georgia Brass Band, at the International Trumpet Guild conference, at the Atlanta Trumpet Festival, and at the Trumpet Festival of the Southeast. An advocate of new music, over the course of the two years he has premiered four new works for trumpet. Alongside pianist Judy Cole, he has performed solo recitals all over the Southeast as a founding member of Duo Trompiano. In addition to solo work, Dr. Lindsey enjoys an active chamber music career as first trumpet with the Premiere Brass, as founding member

of the Atlanta Trumpet League, and as a member of the Isthmus Brass. As an orchestral musician, he regularly performs as the principal trumpet of the Georgia Symphony Orchestra, as section trumpet with the Atlanta Symphony, the Memphis Symphony, the Macon Symphony, and spent two summers at the Aspen Music Festival. As an educator, he maintains a vibrant studio of young trumpeters at KSU and at various high schools in the area, and recently started a popular regional high school ensemble, the North-Atlanta Trumpet Ensemble. Most recently, the KSU trumpet ensemble garnered praise at the 2015 International Trumpet Guild conference where they performed Erik Morale’s Infinite Ascent, and continue to find success at the National Trumpet Competition with their consecutive semi-finalist placements. Other studio accomplishments include multiple winners from the International Trumpet Guild scholarship contest, job placements, successful graduate school placements, and multiple winners of KSU’s Concerto Competition.

Dr. Lindsey’s former duties as music history lecturer at KSU as well as his many experiences on the cornetto and the baroque trumpet reflect his keen interest in the fields of early music and musicology. As an avid composer and arranger, he enjoys creating work for trumpet ensemble, brass quintet, and brass ensembles. His published dissertation, Beyond the Galant, is an arrangement of four Haydn symphonies for trumpet with historical information about Haydn, performance practice, and the history behind
