Blue Ridge Symphonic Brass Concert

The BLUE RIDGE SYMPHONIC BRASS (BRSB) will present the third concert of the current season on Sunday, February 22 at 3:00 p.m. The concert will be held at Grace Lutheran Church, 1245 6th Avenue West in Hendersonville. The program of exciting works for brass, conducted by Cole Hairston, is free and open to the public, with donations appreciated and accepted.
Maestro Hairston has designed a program that will offer an appealing variety of music, including an exciting brass version of A Mighty Fortress: A Church Festival Overture for Brass Choir, the Welsh chorale Brin Calfaria, a powerful arrangement of the Prelude 14 by Dmitri Shostakovich, and Tchesnokoff’s majestic Salvation Is Created. A special offering is the musical portrayal of A Londoner in New York in three movements titled Echoes of Harlem, The Chrysler Building and Grand Central. Rounding out the program is Purcell’s Voluntary on Old 100th and an antiphonal double choir selection by Giovanni Gabrieli, always an audience favorite.
