Music Cameron Chandler ’20 and Shane Auguste ’20 Senior Thesis Concert: “The Motley Crew” and “Outlets”

The Amherst College Department of Music presents The Motley Crew and Outlets, original theses in composition by Cameron Chandler ’20 and Yohan Auguste ’20. The concert is free and open to the public; seating is by general admission.

The Motley Crew is a collection of six movements stylistically ranging from big band jazz, to tango, to Japanese pop music. Inspired by different styles of music, each “member” of the crew has a distinct, interesting and fun personality.

In student composer Shane Auguste’s words: “Plug into Outlets, a string quartet cycle performed by the Wistaria Quartet. The piece rests upon musical concepts I have encountered at Amherst and explores my own interpretation and relationship to those concepts.”
