Get ready for an evening of musical entertainment on March 8 with the Cincinnati Brass Band for their annual winter concert, “From Bach to Rock”! The proceeds of this concert will benefit the Freestore Foodbank here in Cincinnati.
Admission for all age groups is $10. Also, canned goods will be collected at the door for donation to the Freestore Foodbank.
Our musical journey will begin with classical selections like Toccata in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, a medley of works by Antonin Dvorak and the familiar theme, Joyful, Joyful from Symphony Number 9 by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Claire Northcut, a talented young vocalist, will sing Moon River and Don’t Rain on my Parade.
Claire won the Mason Idle Competition in 2011 after receiving the Rising Star Award at the 2010 Mason Idle. She also performs at the Children’s Theatre of Mason.
The rock part of the program will include arrangements of an Elvis medley, When I’m 64 by the Beatles, and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.
The Cincinnati Brass Band was formed in 1993 to provide an opportunity for qualified adult musicians the experience of playing traditional British brass band music.
There are currently 35 members of the CBB, who along with their conductor, Anita Cocker Hunt, volunteer their time and efforts to spread the sound of a brass band to the general public. For more information about the Cincinnati Brass Band, please visit us online at http://cincinnatibrassband.com.
