The Opera House at Enosburg Falls presents the Vermont Brass Quintet on Friday, November 19. The five members of the VSO ensemble will offer a program of Mozart, Ewald, Calvert, Rimski-Korsakov, Dahl, Holst; and Lavallee. POLISHING THE OPERA HOUSE BRASS
One of Vermont's most-established chamber music ensembles, the Vermont Brass Quintet has delighted audiences throughout the region for more than twenty-five years. Known for their interesting and varied programs, the quintet has traveled to churches, schools, and concert halls in every part of Vermont, as well as performing on concert series in New Hampshire and New York.
The Opera House program includes one of the first examples of a composition for modern brass quintet, the Symphony for Brass Choir by Victor Ewald. The Suite from the Monteregian Hills is music by Canadian composer Morley Calvert about a Canadian location. The Second Suite in F is an arrangement of one of Gustav Holst's famous suites for military band. La Rose Nuptiale by Calixa Lavallee is an overture-style piece with a rousing finish. Intermezzo, from Music for Brass by Ingolf Dahl, The Tsar's Bride by Nicolai Rimski-Korsakov, and a transcription of the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart round out the program.
Members of the quintet are David Brubaker and James Duncan, trumpets; Alan Parshley, horn; Peter Bouchard, trombone; and Mark Stebbins, tuba. These Vermont Symphony Orchestra members also perform in many other musical organizations in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York.
Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and student, and $5 for children under 12. Tickets are now available at the All Arts ticket centers: Enosburg Pharmacy and Merchants Bank in Enosburg Falls, at Swanton Rexall, and at Better Planet and at the Kept Writer in St Albans.
