The Smoky Mountain Brass Quintet, resident brass quintet at Western Carolina University, will perform in a faculty showcase in the recital hall of the Coulter Building at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27.
The program will feature the SMBQ accompanied by WCU music faculty members Mario Gaetano on xylophone, Shannon Thompson on clarinet, and tenor vocalist Bill Martin. It is open to the public free of charge.
Also included on the program are pieces by WCU faculty members Bruce Frazier and Pavel Wlosok. Frazier’s composition, “An American Heritage Fantasy,” was premiered by the SMBQ at Carnegie Hall in June. Wlosok’s piece, “Jazz Miniatures for Brass Quintet,” will be performed for the first time at WCU and consists of five movements, each one featuring a member of the SMBQ as a jazz soloist.
The quintet will conclude the program with Leroy Anderson’s “Bugler’s Holiday” with Larry Black, WCU adjunct trumpet teacher on trumpet.
Members of the Smoky Mountain Brass Quintet are P. Bradley Ulrich and David Ginn, trumpets; Travis Bennett, horn; Dan Cherry, trombone; and Michael Schallock, tuba.
