Our final concert of the season will feature the Nebraska Brass!
The Nebraska Brass has reached audiences in communities throughout the state since 1987, presenting a four or five-concert series each season in three or more cities. Each season, this ensemble performs a variety of literature and commissions new works for brass quintet, preserving and promoting this valuable art form. Their most recent CD is “Blowout”, which features pieces commissioned by the Nebraska Brass.
Educating students is also a priority for the Nebraska Brass, and through the educational outreach program, Brass Goes to School, the ensemble has reached thousands of students in the past 15 years. This program places the Nebraska Brass in Lincoln and Omaha area schools, where they perform exciting and age-appropriate music, provide informative commentary about the music, and field a variety of questions.
The Nebraska Brass is comprised of musicians with a wealth of experience in both classical and commercial idioms. Members have performed with ensembles such as the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra, Nebraska Jazz Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Mannheim Steamroller. Members have also toured and performed throughout the United States, Europe, South America, Japan, Australia and the Caribbean with numerous musical ensembles. In addition to their busy performing schedules, members of the Nebraska Brass are experienced as educators who are presently teaching in Nebraska public schools, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
Featuring: Dean Haist & Brad Obbink, trumpet; Ric Ricker, horn; Mark Mendell, trombone; and Alex Seratowski, tuba.
