This concert will shake up your expectations of an "all-brass" performance, and display the wide range and versatility available in the pure brass quintet. As all of the selections were originally written for brass, this performance will show off the many colors and moods of this five-voice ensemble. Discover the full range of tone color, blending, combinations, emotions, and grandeur that the brass family can deliver.
International in flavor, this program will include music by Italian masters, Russian innovators, and a sampling of England’s leading twentieth century composers. Everything from the light baroque sound through full brass fanfares; the romantic stretch and rubato; the flash of fingers and runs to add excitement; the depths and soul of the low brass as the heartbeat of the music – they’re all here!
Come prepared to enjoy the brass family in all its splendor, spirit, and subtlety!
