The St. Louis Brass Quintet is next up to perform in the North Dakota Museum of Art Concert Series at 2 p.m. Sunday in the museum on the UND campus in Grand Forks.
Founded in 1964, the St. Louis Brass Quintet is one of America's longest-standing brass quintets. The group originally formed from the St. Louis Symphony, but today, only one member remains from the original group, and he is the only member still living in St. Louis, a news release said.
The group now performs three 10-day concert tours throughout the U.S. each year, plus recording and international touring. The St. Louis Brass Quintet performs great music for brass from the works of today's composers to the Baroque and Renaissance music transcribed for modern instruments.
For many audiences, they also offer popular music of the Americas, jazz arrangements of standards by Ellington/Strayhorn, Gershwin and Cole Porter, lighthearted pieces for narrator and brass and a tongue-in-cheek survey of the history of the brass instruments.
Tickets for the Concert Series are available by subscription to the series or for single concerts at the door or in advance at the North Dakota Museum of Art.
