Award-winning Triton Brass Quintet to Perform with Concord Band
|
| The Triton Brass Quintet |
Concord, Mass, February 7, 2012 — The Concord
Band is thrilled to welcome five outstanding young professional
musicians from the Boston area to share the stage at their Winter
Concert.
The award-winning Triton Brass Quintet will be guest soloists for
an exciting and dynamic program, led by Music Director
James
O'Dell, which will take place at 8 pm on March 3, 2012 at the
Performing Arts Center at 51
Walden in Concord.
The quintet will perform
Five Concord Diversions
for Brass Quintet and Band by
James
Curnow, commissioned by the Concord Band and premiered in
1987, and the Concertino for Brass Quintet and Band by
John Cheetham.
In addition, the quintet's Andrew Sorg will be featured on
flugelhorn in an arrangement of the Adagio movement from
Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez,
arranged by Concord Band Music Director Emeritus
William G. McManus.
Originating from across the United States and abroad, the
members of the Triton Brass are now New England area freelance
musicians, and among the region's most promising young talents:
Stephen Banzaert and Andrew Sorg, trumpets; Shelagh Abate, French
horn; Wesley Hopper, trombone; and Angel Subero, bass
trombone.
Triton Brass were prize winners at the 2005 Lyon International
Chamber Music Competition, 2003 Fischoff International Chamber
Music Competition, and semi-finalists at the Concert Artists
Guild Competition.
Triton members are in their second year as artists-in-residence
at The Boston Conservatory, where the group serves as both
performers and instructors, and are proud to be faculty and
co-hosts for the Atlantic Brass Quintet International
Seminar.
It is with deep sadness that The Concord Band reports that
William M. Toland, the Band's Music Director Laureate, passed
away in January.
Mr. Toland was Music Director from 1962 to 1995, and established
its missions of providing the best in concert band music to
Concord-area audiences, commissioning new works for band, and
inviting the best guest conductors, composers, instrumentalists,
and singers to perform and work with the Band.
As a tribute to him, the Band will play the “Nimrod”
movement from Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations for
this concert.
In addition, the Fall 2012 concert will be dedicated to a
celebration of Mr. Toland's life and role with the Band.
Also on the program are
...Go by Samuel Hazo,
Festivo by Edward Gregson,
Florentiner March by Julius Fučík, and
“Ishmael” from
Of Sailors and Whales
by W. Francis McBeth.
The concert begins at 8:00 pm in The Performing Arts Center at 51
Walden Street in Concord on Saturday, March 3, 2012.
Tickets are $15 each ($5 for students and seniors) and are
available at the door.
The Concord Band, founded in 1959, is one of the leading
community concert bands in the United States.
It is well known for its innovative programming and the
exceptional quality of its commissioned pieces.
It presents both formal and Pops concerts throughout the year.
Thousands attend its summer concerts each year at
Fruitlands Museum in
Harvard, Massachusetts.
