The Smoky Mountain Brass Quintet (pictured above), the resident brass quintet of Western Carolina University, will be performing a recital at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 3, as part of the Catamount Concert Series.

The performance, to be held in the recital hall of the Coulter Building at WCU, will be a “SMBQ favorites” program with works by Pachelbel, Ewald, Kamen, Filmore, Wlosok and Gabrieli. 

The performance is open to the public free of charge.

The April 3 show is part of a busy spring and summer schedule for the SMBQ, which is preparing for a performance in the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York on June 8. Plans are in the works for a special “arts weekend” in New York, including the SMBQ concert at the Weill Recital Hall, tours of art galleries, and a Broadway show.

Quintet members are P. Bradley Ulrich, trumpet; David Ginn, trumpet; Travis Bennett, horn; Daniel Cherry, trombone; and Michael Schallock, tuba.
