Details
The concert programme From Bach to Hollywood includes the most spectacular and most beloved works from the ensemble’s repertoire. The Gold Standard — this is what one might call the collection of ‘hits’ of academic and opera music, jazz standards from the 1930s, and popular tunes from Hollywood films. In the author’s arrangements for brass ensemble, famous works acquire a particularly festive character and sound power.
