The River City Brass will headline the third concert of the Greater Hazleton Concert Series at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 19 at Hazleton Area High School Auditorium, 1601 W. 23rd Street, Hazleton, where abundant free, lighted parking is available.
The River City Brass is a modified British-style brass band based in Pittsburgh. The 28-piece ensemble, 25 brass players and three percussionists, tours extensively throughout the United States and performs several concerts each year as part of its community concerts series in Western Pennsylvania. It received a standing ovation from a crowd of one thousand after making its public debut in November 1981 during the Pittsburgh’s British Festival.
Within six years of its founding, the ensemble had gained a national reputation as one of America’s most popular touring attractions, and by the mid-1990’s was known as one of America’s premier brass ensembles. Each year, tens of thousands of people, at home and on the road, enjoy their music featuring: American tunes, big band swing, jazz, Broadway, Hollywood, classical, contemporary masterworks, and traditional marches. River City Brass is entertaining, enlightening, funny, thoroughly professional and family friendly.
