Brass Band of the TriState to perform May 20

Share
The Brass Band of the TriState will perform a concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 20, in Smith Recital Hall on the Marshall University campus. The concert is free and open to all.

The band will present a program of movie music from classics like “The Wizard of Oz,” “The Great Escape,” and “2001 A Space Odyssey” to more modern fare such as “Jurassic Park,” “Monsters, Inc.,” and “Brassed Off.”

The Brass Band of the TriState is the only British-style brass band in the state and has been in existence for approximately 30 years. The group, under the direction of Dr. Michael Stroeher, professor of brass at Marshall, consists of community members, Marshall students and alumni, and professional musicians.

“I’ve aways thought that some of the best music being written today and, in the past, comes from movies,” Stroeher said. “This concert highlights the wide variety of styles in film music, from heavy classical to jazz.”

All are welcome.
