SUMMARY:American Brass Quintet Plays Program Featuring Mostly New Works at 
 Oberlin
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 2/20 @ 7:30PM\nThe American Brass Quintet was founded in 
 1960 so obviously the internationally noted ensemble doesn’t have any or
 iginal members. It’s had more than two dozen over the years\, including 
 in 2023\, its first woman member (current tenor trombone player Hillary Si
 mms). The current group also features Tiago Linck and Brandon Ridenour on 
 trumpets\, Eric Reed on French horn and John D. Rojak on bass trombone.\n\
 nSince its early days\, it’s stood out in a few ways: it’s substituted
  bass trombone for the usual tuba and instead of transcribed repertoire st
 aples for its own instruments\, and it’s aggressively expanded its reper
 toire by commissioning pieces from contemporary composers.\n\nWhen it perf
 orms at Oberlin’s Finney Chapel this week\, they’ll be playing some of
  those newer works including Anthony Barfield’s 2022 "Samsāra"\; Philip
  Lasser’s Common Heroes\, Uncommon Land (2017)\, Jennifer Higdon’s Boo
 k of Brass I. Ramp Up (2022) and David Biedenbender’s 2022 Sacred Geomet
 ry\, inspired by the work of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi\, as well as 2
 0th century Brazilian composer Osvaldo Lacerda’s Quinteto Concertante\, 
 and Ridenour’s version of John Dowland’s “Earl of Essex Galliard: Ca
 n She Excuse My Wrongs\,” originally written for lute in the late 16th c
 entury.\n\nGo here for tickets.\n\noberlin/american-brass-quintet\n\n[mapp
