The Lenoir-Rhyne University Brass Ensemble (UBE), along with the Unifour Brass Ensemble, will perform a concert on Sunday, March 13 at 4:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Morganton, NC. The event is free of charge, but a love offering will be taken to help raise funds for L-R students who will be traveling to Europe this May.
The performance will feature several antiphonal works by Giovanni Gabrielli, Gioseppe Guami and Aurelio Bonelli. The music will also espouse sounds from Victor Ewald, Vaclav Nelhybel, Richard Wagner and more.
First organized in 1978 as a brass quartet, the UBE and its members have provided music for area orchestras, big bands, church services, dedications, weddings and receptions, theater productions, area club functions, and civic functions. The ensemble's repertoire ranges from the medieval to modern eras. In addition, several members have conducted music for theater productions, public and private school music, community brass ensembles, community jazz ensembles, and community bands. Several past members have gone on to become professional performers or to have teaching careers at universities and colleges across the nation. The Unifour Brass Ensemble Inc. is dedicated to providing the public, most notably our young people, with a basic appreciation for music through the wonderful sound of brass instruments.
The Lenoir-Rhyne University Brass Ensemble is frequently seen in area churches, in formal recitals, at campus functions, in department-sponsored hymn festivals, and with the L-R A Cappella Choir. The Brass Ensemble performs literature of all style periods and in a wide variety of genres.
