Brass Quintet in a National Park

The Grand Teton Music Festival recently wrapped up. Some fine folks made a recording for Performance Today. The recording was made out in the middle of Grand Teton National Park. This really makes the video version required to enjoy the amazing scenery. 

The quintet includes:

Trumpet: Thomas Hooten, Jennifer Marotta

Horn: Gail Williams

Trombone: Michael Mulcahy

Tuba: Craig Knox

 

The performance is two movements from John Stevens' Seasons Quintet. Performing movements names Summer and Autumn seems appropriate given the setting here. The group, as expected, is a pleasure to listen to. Enjoy!

Mister Rogers Visits The Empire Brass Quintet

The Fred Rogers Company has a great video from a long time ago with the Empire Brass. Mr. Rogers does a quick interview with the Empire Brass and they a piece called Central Park Morning. It's short, but it's a good time. Plus, David Ohanian's hair is awesome.
