Brass Roots Trio to perform a Midday Concert @ 1:00 on September 20th at Ellsworth Community Music Institute (ECMI).
ELLSWORTH - Ellsworth Community Music Institute (ECMI) offers its next Midday Concert @ 1:00 on September 20th with Brass Roots Trio (Trumpet, French Horn, and Piano).
The concert will be held at the Moore Community Center Theater at 125 State Street in Ellsworth, Maine. The series is sponsored by Ellsworth Community Music Institute (ECMI) with funding assistance from The City of Ellsworth. Admission is free to the public.
Brass Roots Trio (TRUMPET, FRENCH HORN, and PIANO plus the bonus of a brilliant operatic tenor) redefines the chamber music genre with a fusion of styles. With classical roots and eclectic content, Brass Roots Trio’s programs take unexpected twists and turns, from brilliant Baroque gems played on piccolo trumpet, to decadent tangos, to American masters Bernstein, Copland, and Gershwin.
Travis Heath (trumpet & flugelhorn), Douglas Lundeen (French horn, Native American Flute & vocalist) and Rosetta Senkus Bacon (piano) infuse their music with exuberant energy. Their warmhearted presentation, with commentaries that are informative and often humorous, makes an immediate connection with the audience.
A pioneer of this instrumentation, Brass Roots Trio has performed in every corner of the US and England since 2004. In 2009 the trio was honored to perform for President and Mrs. Obama and their guests at the White House. Individually the artists have demonstrated their prodigious talents across the country and around the world with engagements at the Kennedy Center in Washington, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in NY, and at Cultural Centers and festivals in Switzerland, England, Ireland, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, The Czech Republic, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Japan, China and Taiwan.
Exhilarating performances and imaginative programming have established BRASS ROOTS TRIO as one of the most compelling ensembles of the 21st century.
