On this edition of the Music Room, We are fortunate enough to shine the spotlight once again on the Thief River Falls Prowler Orchestras, under the direction of Derek Druse. We will be featuring selections from the Orchestra’s spring concert event that was held on May 19, 2014 at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Thief River Falls, MN. Listen as Derek and his talented students perform everything from passages from movie scores to re-grooved pop hits of the 1980’s.
Host, Carl Unbehaun, presents a cavalcade of songs by Minnesota songwriters along with his musical musings!
