Wayland Concert Series presents hornists Hazel Dean Davis and Nicholas Auer and pianist Elaine Rombola Aveni. The program includes Brahms songs, Gina Gillies' "The Great Migration," and Richard Bissil's "Time and Space". The Gillies piece is inspired by the migration of the wildebeest which, like this concert, has two horns. We will also be treated to a duet of alphorns -- 12-foot-long tyrolean didgiriedoos. The concert is free and open to all.
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.
