MSU Graduate Brass Quintet
By Mark Flegg
For my final performance with the group we’ll be reprising our program from the concert at the Players’ Playhouse in Detroit, this time at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in East Lansing. Added to the program for this concert will be the world premiere performance of a new work for brass quintet by composer Roger Petersen.
Here’s a brief excerpt from the Fine Arts Society website: “The April 12th Chamber Music at The Playhouse concert was another smashing success, filling The Players Founders Room with beautiful people and with even more beautiful music! Mark Flegg and David Turrill (Trumpet), Michael Rieg (Horn), Simeon Stoyanov (Trombone) and Clinton McCanless (Tuba) are all to be thanked and congratulated! From their opening with Canona Bergamasca to their closing with That’s a Plenty, The MSU Graduate Brass Quintet’s music was fascinating and entertaining to all.”
