Guest artists are renowned pianist <strong>I-Chen Yeho<\/strong> and <strong>Colin Hill<\/strong>, director of <strong>Tennessee Tech University<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>School of Music<\/strong>, on drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Assembly Quartet\u00a0has\u00a0residencies in schools in <strong>North Dakota, South Carolina, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina<\/strong>, and <strong>South Carolina<\/strong>. The group engages with public schools and other audiences that have limited experience with chamber music, Estes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have also performed with the F<strong>lorence Symphony Orchestra, Motor City Symphony Orchestra, Lafayette-Oxford-University Orchestra, Oxford and University Orchestra and Wind Ensemble<\/strong>, and <strong>Minot Symphony Orchestra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Estes&#8217; fifth album, the third with Assembly Quartet, and his second on the AMP Recordings label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Publishing albums on recording labels is significant creative activity for performance faculty at academic institutions,&#8221; said Estes, who\u00a0maintains an active schedule as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra musician at venues in <strong>Scotland, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium<\/strong>, and other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding for the &#8220;(Re)Mix&#8221; project came from a College of Liberal Arts Research and Creative Activity Grant, the Department of Music and the UM Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, with additional support from&nbsp;Oakland University and Tennessee Tech University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Estes is a stellar teaching artist, and the work of the Assembly Quartet is impressive,&#8221; said Nancy Maria Balach, chair of the Ole Miss music department. &#8220;UM music has had the pleasure of hosting the group on campus and experience their brilliant artistry in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This album will allow a broader audience to enjoy the Assembly Quartet and become a great addition to any music collection.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Elaine Abadie<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Assembly-Quartet-750.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Assembly-Quartet-750.jpg?resize=640%2C493&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Assembly-Quartet-750.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Assembly-Quartet-750.jpg?resize=300%2C231&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Assembly Quartet \u2013 (from left) Jeffrey Heisler, Ian Jeffress, Matthew Younglove and Adam Estes \u2013 have a new album out featuring reimagined arrangements of several saxophone compositions.
