11th Dimension for Flute Quartet and Electronics
by Russell Peterson It didn't take long for Russ to come up with an idea when we asked him to write a piece for us: "I've got it! -- flute quartet with electronics!" Always looking for new repertoire, we were pretty excited for this composition. Winner of numerous prizes, including the top prize at the International Geneva Saxophone Concours, (Switzerland), and first place winner of the MTNA National Music Competition, Russ Peterson has soloed with orchestras throughout Europe and The United States. He is an active chamber musician, and currently performs around the FM area with Post-Traumatic Funk Syndrome and a number of other bands. He is currently associate professor of saxophone, bassoon and Jazz Ensemble I at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. |
Russ has premiered multiple compositions, including works for various combinations of alto saxophone, percussion, violin, flute and orchestra. He is also the house arranger for the annual "Symphony Rocks" concert put on by the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony. 11th Dimension is his first work for flute quartet.

Dakota Summer: Scenes from the Prairie
by Jonathan Campbell
With themes of the northern prairie, our Scandinavian roots, and using a variety of flutes, Jonathan Campbell composed his first flute quartet, Dakota Summer: Scenes from the Prairie, for the Silver Winds in 2015. The 9-minute work for mixed flute quartet evokes moods, feelings, and imagery of a hot summer day, as well as the musical depictions of a Sunday prayer, a barn dance, and a silent cemetery. Dakota Summer has been published and can be purchased on the Theodore Presser Company's website. Visit Jon's website for more information and to hear recordings of his compositions.
