Ithaca College

Senior Rachel Perry, a saxophone performance and music education major from the studio of Professor and Acting Dean Steven Mauk, and visiting professor Tim Rosenberg, won first prize in the U.S. Army Band solo competition.

The competition was based on a submitted CD recording of a piece for solo instrument and band, and was open to any instrumentalist enrolled in a college music program within the United States. She will perform Paul Creston’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Band twice with the U.S. Army Band as part of their Summer Concert Series. The first concert will be on the West Steps of the U.S. Capitol; the second performance will be at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center in Alexandria, VA. Her performances will occur during the week of June 6th.

Congratulations Rachel!
