Free Concert: Brass Quintet
The brass quintet Cinque Ottoni comprises trumpeters Margaret Romero and Charlie Anderson, hornist Jeff Stewart, and trombonists Mike Rosen and Andy Knight. Their program includes: Herman Stein's "Mock March," reminiscent of a Rocky and Bullwinkle sound track; Scott Joplin's "Bethena," which is not a rag but a gentle waltz; Eric Ewazen's "Balkanika Suite," a suite on eastern european themes written for a Croatian brass quintet; Neil Hefti's classic "Li'l Darlin'," made famous by the Count Basie big band; and Jack Gale's spectacular arrangement of Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story." Free and open to all.
