Stars of Tomorrow

Enter to win 2 tickets to the annual ''Stars of Tomorrow'' concert featuring the winners of the prestigious regional Concerto Competition and performance of Kleinsinger's Tubby the Tuba featuring the NFSO's principal tubist Chester Schmitz, former principal tuba player for the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops for 35 years.

In 1985 Schmitz gave the premiere performance of John Williams' Tuba Concerto, which was personally composed for Schmitz to perform at the Boston Pops' 100th anniversary.

Schmitz is credited with popularizing the Jabba the Hutt Solo, which was also composed by John Williams, Grammy and Academy award-winning composer of such noted film scores including ''Jaws'' and ''Indiana Jones''. This solo was a mini-concerto originally composed as Jabba's Theme for the recurring musical theme of the ''Star Wars'' movies.

The event will be held at the Mattie Kelly Fine Arts Center on February 19, 2010 at the Northwest Florida State College campus at 7:30 p.m. Click here for more information!
