The infectious and enthusiastic Alliance Brass quintet will grace the stage at the M-CHS Auditorium on Thursday May 7, 2015, at 7 p.m., the last of SouthWest Colorado Concerts’ season line-up.
Hailing from Chicago, the Alliance Brass is composed of some of the country’s finest young talent. Members of the ensemble, including Chris O’Hara (trumpet), Mary Galime (trumpet), Kelly Langenberg (French horn), Rachel Castellanos (trombone) and William Russell (tuba), have performed from Canada and Mexico to Russia, the UK and Japan. They have shared the stage with orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra. They have also performed with other brass quintets including the Boston Brass and the Synergy Brass.
Dazzling audiences with a repertoire ranging from the early Renaissance to jazz and beyond, the Alliance Brass is poised to become one of the world’s finest brass ensembles.
The ensemble is also dedicated to the education of the next generation of musicians, and members of ABQ have served on faculty at some of the top music institutions including the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, DePaul University, the International Festival and Institute at Round Top and more. Beyond their teaching efforts, the ensemble also offers a wide range of programs designed to fit school music programs.
Tickets are available at the door for $20 for adults and $5 for youths. For more information, call Lindsay Havran 565-7676 or Joyce Stevenson 565-4757.
