A 30-minute "mini-concert" featuring my colleagues from One World Symphony. I'll be playing trumpet in this brass quintet program. The concert is in Brooklyn at Sacred Hearts & St. Stephen Church, which was the 1st Italian parish in Brooklyn; this program is an "Epiphany Concert" celebrating the church's 125th anniversary, and will include music honoring the church's Italian heritage, and festive Christmas music, too. This is a very good group - trumpeters are myself and Angela Gosse; on horn is Douglas Lyons (you've heard him on "The Simpsons" and countless other soundtracks, as well as occasional appearances in the Los Angeles Philharmonic); the trombones are Hitomi Yakata and Patrick Herb (Pat has recently performed with both the Cleveland Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic!) Free admission. Corner of Summit & Hicks Streets, Brooklyn New York.
