BYU-Idaho Chamber Winds and Brass

to present concert

 

 

            REXBURG, Idaho — The BYU-Idaho Chamber Winds and Brass will present a joint concert Friday, Oct. 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the Barrus Concert Hall of the Eliza R. Snow Center for the Performing Arts.

            Tickets are $2 for the general public and $1 for BYU-Idaho students. They may be purchased by calling the BYU-Idaho Ticket Office at 496-2230 or online at www.byui.edu/tickets.

            The Chamber Winds, under the direction of Diane Soelberg, will perform two pieces: “Serenade No. 3 in C” by Joseph Haydn and “A Quilting Bee—Four Diversions on American Songs” arranged by Clark McAlister.

            “This will be a great evening of chamber music,” Soelberg said. “The concert will be short enough to leave you wanting more.”

            The Chamber Brass, under the direction of Bryce Mecham, will perform a variety of pieces from “Fanfare to La Peri” by Paul Dukas to “Summertime” by George Gershwin.
            “A large brass ensemble can achieve a wonderful range of dynamic levels and moods, from a soft and sweet chorale to the most energetic and overwhelming fanfare,” Mecham said. “Our program for this concert makes full use of this range of expression.”

            While the two groups will not perform combined pieces, two horn players from Chamber Brass will accompany the Chamber Winds on one number.
