CONDUCTOR AND MUSIC EDUCATOR

~ Dale Lonis, Executive Director of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra,

former Director of the School of Music, University of Manitoba

"Rarely have I seen in one person the musical depth, the interpretive instincts, and the artistic sensitivity Denise displays."

~ Richard Blatti, Associate Director of Bands, Ohio State University

"Denise Grant is the kind ofconductor composers look for -- conscientious, resourceful andforward-looking, always seeking ways to advance the wind ensemble medium and make it an art form. Her performance of myArctic Dreams drew raves from the audience, and this is a complex piece to mount. I would be happy to have Denise conduct my music anytime and I very much look forward to the opportunity to work with her againsoon."

~ Michael Colgrass, composer
