| Elisabeth Dien is
a visiting musician from Paris, France. She is currently
enrolled as an exchange
student from France, attending the fall 2006 semester at the
University of Missouri School of Journalism. |
| Elisabeth grew up in
Saint-Brieuc, a small, picturesque village in Brittany,
France. Her love of music began at age five when she
began her clarinet lessons at The National School of Music
in Saint-Brieuc. Her performance in music was mainly in the
classical orchestral area but she also participated in the
school's jazz band and several clarinet quartets. |
| For the past five
years, Elisabeth has been attending the Sciences Po University in
Paris where she is earning her masters degree in journalism.
Elisabeth continues with her love of music by performing with The
Sciences Po Orchestra. |
| She brought her
clarinet with her to Columbia from Paris with the hope that she
could continue her performance in music while here. We are
happy that she found the Columbia Community Concert Band where she
has been a welcome addition to the clarinet section. She
will be returning to Paris at the end of the fall semester at UMC,
but you may meet her at the Columbia Community Band Winter Concert
on Sunday, December 10th, 2006 in the Hickman High School auditorium. |
