Behind the Music Stand With Ted Hatmaker
Dr. Hatmaker has been
hosting entertaining concert previews for the ESO for eighteen years. Hatmaker holds a Ph.D. in music theory
from the University of Iowa and is a published author and an active composer. He
is on the faculty of Northern Illinois University where he teaches music
theory, aural skills and composition. A strong advocate for an educated concert audience, Ted offers
lively and enlightening information about the composers and musical
selections for the day’s performance. The free talks take place 1¼ hour
prior to each ECRC event in the upper level Gathering Place.
