Join us for an extraordinary musical experience at the "Mountains of Brass" concert, part of the esteemed Colorado MahlerFest. This unique event is scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 3 PM and is proudly offered to the public free of charge. The venue for this remarkable performance is the Canyon Theater at the Boulder Public Library, located at 1001 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, conveniently situated closer to Canyon Boulevard, nestled between Broadway and 9th Street.

"Mountains of Brass" promises an afternoon of exceptional brass music, featuring a lineup of compositions that span a variety of styles and eras. The program includes Anthony Barfield's "Gravity," a piece inspired by Langston Hughes's poem "Dreams Deferred" and commissioned by the New York Philharmonic. Attendees will also be treated to the world premiere of "Little Piece for Brass Quintet" by David LeRoy Biller, a notable figure in the Austin music scene. The concert will also showcase works by Victor Ewald, Joan Tower, and Morley Calvert, offering a rich tapestry of sounds that celebrate the brass quintet's versatility and richness.

The performance will highlight the talents of Daniel Kelly & Richard Adams on trumpets, Lydia Van Dreel on horn, Lucas Borges on trombone, and Jesse Orth on tuba. This ensemble of principal brass players from the MahlerFest orchestra, along with Dr. Richard Adams, will bring to life a diverse and captivating program, perfectly aligning with the season's theme and showcasing the brilliance of the brass section.
