APSU’s 25th annual Halloween Concert continues entertaining
Traditionally, the adjectives “creepy” and “scary” aren’t used to describe a musical performance, but on this occasion, Austin Peay State University music professor David Steinquest thinks they’re apt.
He used these macabre terms recently to describe the University’s annual Percussion Ensemble Halloween Concert. For the last 25 years, this strange blend of music and mayhem has set the mood for the October holiday, and it’s proven to be wildly popular among Clarksville residents.
“It’s a very family-friendly concert, and it’s always a sell-out,” Steinquest said.
At 6 and 8 p.m. this Friday, APSU musicians will once again don costumes and perform a mix of Halloween music in an eerily decorated concert hall inside the Music/Mass Communication Building.

Octubafest Celebrates Brass Instrument’s Sound
The tuba, that large, unwieldy brass instrument, is sometimes considered the Rodney Dangerfield of the music world – it doesn’t get any respect. When people think of the tuba, they don’t think of something that plays the melody,” Christopher Vivio, interim director of athletic bands at Austin Peay State University, said. “They just think of marching ‘oompah’ music.”
The tuba’s deep, low-pitched sound usually blends in with others during an ensemble performance, but next week, the instrument takes center stage at the APSU Octubafest concert. The performance, at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 22, will feature student members of the APSU Tuba/Euphonium Studio, and the concert may just change a few people’s minds on the instrument’s abilities. «Read the rest of this article»
