REVIEWS

Concerts produce a torrent of praise from appreciative audience members:

‘That [concert] was SPECTACULAR!’……Wonderful…..BRAVISSIMO’
Dr Richard Swain

‘My girlfriend has been to a number of brass band concerts I have played in back home [UK] and she has never been so full of praise.’
Anonymous

‘The performance was a remarkably rewarding experience. One measure of success comes in Ellen’s comments…she has given many glowing reports to me about the performance. In addition to the musicianship, she applauds the program. She never tired of it, and was always looking forward with eager anticipation to the next piece. She uses the words “amazing”, “astonishing”, and “remarkable” pretty easily in her exhortations. Happily, I also had several friends (all musicians) from work there. All found it to be a wonderfully unique and thoroughly enjoyable evening.’
Dr Edward Synakowski

‘What a wonderful concert last night! I enjoyed every minute. You and your very talented group of players were superb. It’s amazing that you have pulled together so many fine brass musicians – I did not realize we have that many in our area. I also enjoyed hearing music that is new to me – wonderful stuff. I look forward to the next concert.’
Mrs. June Tipton, Adjunct Professor of Music

‘Everyone said that the concert was wonderful, and you had a full house.
Congratulations!’
Mrs. Peggy L. Brown

But our audiences are not just filled with discerning adults. Many young people come and are ‘blown away’ by what they discover. The reason? In the words of a conductor of the New York Philharmonic:

‘There is simply nothing else as thrilling as a brass band at full throttle’.
Bramwell Tovey
