SMOKY MOUNTAIN BRASS QUINTET
TO PERFORM OCT. 24 AT WCU
The Smoky Mountain Brass Quintet, the resident brass quintet of Western Carolina University, will be performing a recital at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, as part of the Catamount Concert Series.
The performance, to be held in the recital hall of the Coulter Building at WCU, will feature a composition for quintet by recently deceased English composer Malcolm Arnold, “Four Movements for Five Brass” by Collier Jones, selections from “Porgy and Bess” by George Gershwin, “Scherzo” by John Cheetham and “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” by Maschwitz and Sherwin.
Also on the program, the SMBQ will premiere a new composition titled “Celebration” by Robert Kehrberg, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who dedicated his new work to the Smoky Mountain Brass Quintet.
The performance is open to the public free of charge.
The Oct. 24 show is part of a busy fall and spring schedule for the SMBQ, which is preparing for a performance in the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York on June 8. Plans are in the works for a special “arts weekend” in New York , an event expected to include the SMBQ concert at the Weill Recital Hall, tours of art galleries, and a Broadway show.
Quintet members are P. Bradley Ulrich, trumpet; David Ginn, trumpet; Travis Bennett, horn; Daniel Cherry, trombone; and Michael Schallock, tuba.
