Brass Chamber Music: Songs and Dances
Plus One

Marching from the Civil War to the present, this brass quintet performs chamber music selections from the American Brass Band Journal and George Gershwin. The most contemporary work on the program, “Dance Suite” by Wesley Nance, is a four-movement piece that demonstrates the close relationship between music and the steps in dances by showcasing the waltz, fox trot, salsa, and rumba.

The Sinatra Era
The Gateswingers Big Band

The Sinatra style, made famous by such standards as “The Way You Look Tonight,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and “You Made Me Love You,” continues to entrance and enchant audiences. Rochester’s Gateswingers Big Band brings their own inimitable style and commentary to this loving tribute to Frank and other standard masters of the era.
