Postponed from Nov. 17 “Third Sunday” Music at the Museum program for Nov. 24 features Greenwich Bay Brass
The Greenwich Bay Brass has been together since 2006. It is an all- volunteer, British style brass ensemble with unique instrumentation. British brass bands are limited to specific instruments, excluding, for instance, trumpets or French horns, which are found in orchestras and concert bands. Typically there are about a dozen musicians.
Based in Rhode Island, the GBB has made numerous appearances around the Ocean State including concerts at First Lutheran Church in East Greenwich, the Barrington Congregational Church, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Providence, and outdoor appearances at Hearthside House in Lincoln, and Wilcox Park in Westerly. Additionally, the ensemble has traveled to Massachusetts and Maine, with a concert at the historic Union Church in South Carver, MA and a joint concert together with the Salvation Army Brass Band in Old Orchard Beach, ME.
The museum opens at 1 and the program will start at about 1:05. The event is FREE, but donations are always welcomed.
Leif Reslow, Director of Greenwich Bay, said he is looking forward to playing at the museum this Sunday. "We've planned a concert of... holiday favorites such as White Christmas, Silver Bells, and Carol of the Bells," said Reslow. For a listening sample, click here.
