A great Minot man is remembered next week in a concert reflecting his talents as a musician and his legacy as a teacher.

On Monday at 7 p.m. in Ann Nicole Nelson Hall at Minot State University, notable musicians both local and returning will present the Norsk Hstfest Brass Band and Organ Extravaganza in memory of Gary Stenehjem.

The Minot Brass Band, under the direction of Gordon Troxel, will be performing three national anthems, Norwegian, Canadian and American.

This is followed by a Holst Suite and "The Great Gates of Kiev" with organist Kari Files. Several of Stenehjem's students will be performing solos with the Band, including Andy Cresap on the trumpet, and Norm Paskowski and Nathan Wilson on the organ.

"We'll be doing Psalm 8 with three brass choirs and Brianna Schwan on the organ," Troxel said. "The choirs are five parts each, and you can think of them like small vocal choirs singing together, each with a different voice."

Files and Paskowski will also perform an organ duet of "Stars and Stripes Forever."

"We've got a trumpet sextet next," Troxel said. "That's Nathan Wilson, Andy Cresap, Joan Haaland Paddock, Todd Cresap, Pat Schwan and Wayne Schempp."

Paddock, a professor of music at Linfield College in Oregon, is one of Stenehjem's students, and was the first woman to receive a doctorate of trumpet performance at Indiana State University. She'll be playing "Joshua Swings the Battle," by Jens Lindemann, a rousing take on the biblical story.

Then the group performs a universal favorite for brass instruments, "Alexander's Ragtime Band," and closes with a decidedly Hstfest theme.

"We're ending with a Norwegian Wedding March, which sounds like a big Viking coming down the hill," Troxel said. "It's fitting."

The event is planned as a fundraiser to raise money for an MSU organ scholarship begun by Stenehjem, and there will be an admission charge of $10.

"The school won't even look at it unless we have at least $5,000," Troxel said. "So we're hoping to raise that in Gary's memory, to get it going."
