Dramatic Brass Concert a Success
March 27th, 2011 by
Thank you to everyone who came to see and hear the Dramatic Brass concert last Friday. The concert also doubled as the CD release of Capital BrassWorks’ fourth recording, Brass Britannia!

This concert was the first to be held at Parkdale United Church in Ottawa. The venue provided a larger stage and the opportunity for the group to experiment with different placements. For instance, Karen Donnelly performed her solo from The Bluebird (also featured on the new CD) while standing behind the audience which gave her parts the impression of being off in the distance, much like a singing bird which you can hear but cannot see.
To all of those who came to the concert, Capital BrassWorks would very much like to hear your feedback on the new venue, whether positive or constructive. Please add a comment to this post, send a tweet or give feedback via email.

Dramatic Brass
March 16th, 2011 by
We’re gearing up for what we trust will be our best musical offering to date on March 25. We’ve just started work on this latest program entitled Dramatic Brass and we spent most of our 1st 2 rehearsals on a terrific arrangement by Paul Archibald of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. We’ve added a 5th trumpet player, 2 more horns, a 2nd tuba player and another percussionist for the piece. The technical demands of this work are staggering, but we’re confident that the results of our efforts will be nothing less than stunning (in a good way, that is)! More on this project later.
