December Speaker - Brassroots Quintet, Soloist
Seasonal Favorites…and Other Favorites Too
The Brassroots Quintet features members of the larger brass group, Brassroots.
Brassroots, currently under the musical direction of noted London composer/arranger Jeff Christmas, has been presenting a regular subscription concert series in London since 1986. Brassroots’ unique instrumental mix of four trumpets, a horn, four trombones, a tuba and percussion, give this group the flexibility to demonstrate a wide variety of compositional moods and styles that are more often performed by larger and more traditional groups.
Since its inception, Brassroots has showcased over seventy compositions and arrangements in first performances, spanning a vast range of musical literature, from Baroque and Classical transcriptions to Jazz and Pops, to original music, with exceptional musical skill. Brassroots has featured many outstanding Canadian instrumentalists and enthusiastically supports Canadian composers and arrangers.
The Brassroots Quintet will feature five of Brassroots’ members – two trumpets, a horn, a trombone & a tuba plus a special vocal guest, and will entertain you with an assortment of Seasonal Favourites for your listening pleasure!
