Welcome back to Music City Monday! Today we are very excited to feature MCBE’s own trombone players/composer, Jonathan Hooper! On our next concert, we will be performing his work entitled “Scherzo: To The ‘Boro and Back”. We asked Jonathan to give us a little info. to share with you and he had this to say about it:

“I reworked two themes from years ago, added three more, twisted harmonies a bit here and there, selfishly crafted a bass trombone part that is more fun than normal, incorporated every compositional technique Sally Reid ever tried to teach me, all glued together in an embarrasingly programmatic description of driving from downtown Nashville to Murfreesboro and back, except that unlike that drive, this music never stops but just keeps plowing ahead between large trucks, manic drivers, faulty zipper traffic, and...well, you know, just a drive to Murfreesboro and back”.

😉
Please join us on Sunday, November 1st, 2026 at 2:00 pm for our concert entitled “Fanfares and Fury”.

Happy Music City Monday! As the Summer comes to a close, MCBE wants to look back on a very special moment from our last concert of the season. On July 6th, 2026, we premiered The Leiper’s Fork March, written for MCBE by none other than the late great Mac Davis and arranged by MCBE’s own Wesley Ramsey. Mac wrote this march during a golf outing with our co-founder, Mark Tillinger (yes, Mac composed the entire piece in his head during the golf round)! To honor Mac, Mark bequeathed Mrs. Mac Davis a framed first trumpet part engraved “In memory of Mac Davis, the Leiper’s Fork March” as well as the original full score. We all feel so blessed to have Mac’s work as an integral part of our repertoire!

Welcome to Music City Monday! We just wanted to take a look back at our July 5th concert where we featured none other than tympanist, Bill Wiggins on Michael Colgrass’s Concertino for Tympani. Bill was a Nashville Symphony member for 46 years and graciously performs with MCBE on a regular basis. We are so honored to have him and he gave an outstanding performance!
