Stiletto Brass in Sarasota, Florida
September 27 @ 11:30 AM EDT
What a way to start our 49th season early!!mb Several years ago, the Stiletto Brass performed with The Pops Orchestra and you all enjoyed them so much, we are bringing them back for an encore!
The Stiletto Brass features five brilliant brass players coming together from orchestras, military bands, and universities across the country delivering concerts of virtuosity and great fun. These five women in red stilettos explore classical and popular music with a unique flair.
“Struttin’ with the Stiletto Brass” will feature several selections in the “struttin’” theme, including original compositions for brass quintet such as Jens Lindemann’s “When a Body Meets a Body” about dodging taxi cabs in London, “Central Park in the Morning” by David Chesky, and “Struttin’ with Some BBQ” by composer Kenneth Abeling. Other selections include a fantasy variation arrangement on George Gershwin’s “Summertime” that the Stiletto Brass first performed with Doc Severinson. Recent Sarasota transplant and retired trumpet teacher at the University of Kentucky, Vincent MiMartino, will be joining them for this and another Gershwin favorite, “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
