The tour featured 25 concerts in five countries and the colony of Hong Kong, included public appearances and visits with music students in numerous cities, and yielded another commercial recording for the EWE\u2019s discography: the live album Eastman Wind Ensemble in Japan<\/em>, released by Toshiba Records.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8565″ img_size=”medium”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1736280032610{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]Recounting the tour to the ESM Archivist in the fall of 2021, Dr. Hunsberger described the venture as a landmark, one that represented the culmination of all that the EWE had been doing in the 16 years following the end of Frederick Fennell\u2019s EWE tenure. Further, the 1978 tour looked ahead to the Asian tours made regularly by the EWE between the years 1990 and 2002.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”On Display” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1625056653916{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-color: #cccccc !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #cccccc !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1736280526165{background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_tta_pageable no_fill_content_area=”true” autoplay=”10″ active_section=”1″ pagination_style=”flat-square” pagination_color=”black” tab_position=”top” hover_anim=”grow” css=”.vc_custom_1624900939013{margin-top: -10px !important;margin-left: 40px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: -10px !important;}”][vc_tta_section title=”Letter from RF” tab_id=”1624549894241-2f24269d-3b7e”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”top” gap=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1736280652185{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1630087537906{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: -20px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8566″ img_size=”large” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_shadow” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”.vc_custom_1629997360448{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12 vc_hidden-xs” css=”.vc_custom_1736283365570{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1736283326047{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-right: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
