Legendary ensemble Empire Brass Quintet makes a welcome return to these shores to play two different programmes. The first will be in a lighter vein incorporating a mix of music including pieces by George Gershwin (Porgy and Bess), Meredith Willson (The Music Man) and Duke Ellington (It Don’t Mean A Thing).
The second
will be more classically oriented including works
by Pachelbel, Telemann, Albinoni, Handel, Purcell
and more.
Bermuda’s Kenneth Amis is a long-standing member of this ensemble and we are delighted to provide an opportunity for him to work in his beloved homeland, in this year of celebration. Amis’ talents extend far beyond the tuba and this engagement will include the world premiere of one of his compositions. It is a work entitled The Scent of Paradise which was commissioned by The Bermuda Festival to commemorate Bermuda’s 400th anniversary and will be performed on both nights.
