This Sunday, Sept. 5 Orcas Center announces the return of the Dallas Brass with a performance for the entire family. This event is priced accordingly — all tickets to the September 5 show are $10.
Since its founding in 1983 by Michael Levine, the Dallas Brass has become one of America’s foremost musical ensembles. The group has established a unique blend of traditional brass instruments with a full complement of drums and percussion, which creates a performing entity of extraordinary range and musical challenges. The Dallas Brass repertoire includes classical masterpieces, Dixieland, swing, Broadway, Hollywood and patriotic music.
According to Mr. Levine, “a Dallas Brass concert is intended for the entire family. Our ideal audience has a range in ages from 5 to 95. Our goal is to entertain and enrich by playing great music, while showing our audience how much we enjoy what we do.”
The Dallas Brass has a strong dedication to working with young musicians, frequently going into the public schools to present clinics and workshops for students of all ages. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Center.
Video and audio samples of the Dallas Brass and other scheduled performers may be experienced on Orcas Center’s new website. Tickets may be ordered at the Center Box office, 376-2281, or at www.orcascenter.org.
