The Adirondack Brass Quintet will be performing at the Peru Community Church Fellowship Center on Friday, April 3, at 7:30 pm.  Tickets are $8 general admission, $5 for students and seniors and $15 for a family.  Quinitet member Janet Geldert described what the audience can expect. “We will be playing a wide variety of music.  We will include baroque, classical, blues, show tunes, jazz, folk songs, and ragtime.  There will be music most people will recognize (such as St. Louis Blues, Londonderry Air, and Maple Leaf Rag) as well as pieces that may not be so familiar (such as a toccata and fugue by Bach, or the Voluntary on the Old 100th). Most of the pieces to be performed were not originally written for brass quintet, but were transcribed for that instrumentation.  It should be a fun evening, with something to please each audience member.”

The quintet members are: Matt Pray and Bill Long, trumpet; Janet Geldert, horn; Andrew West, Trombone, and JoLee Yeddo, tuba.
