Friends of Brass,
It's been several months since we last saw you with an epic turnout
for our rescheduled Spring Marble and Brass concert. Last season was
record breaking in terms of concert attendance, and we forged new ground
and partnerships. We been scheming and plotting to try to make the
upcoming year live up to the standard, and it's going to be a good one!
First, however, it is with some disappointment that we inform you
that Drew Mazurek, ace trumpeter and founding member of Brass, will be
taking a leave of absence as he continues to recover from his inner ear
issue. Drew is in good health and still an active part of what we do, he
simply can't play the trumpet until this issue is resolved. We look
forward to his return, which we hope will be in the Spring.
Along with this development, we have decided to postpone recording
the Christmas CD we mentioned to you back in the Spring. It doesn't feel
right to go forward with that project without Drew, so we will resume
work on it when he is back up to speed.
Joining us this season to fill Drew's shoes will be John Ehrenburg.
Some of you saw him perform with us at the Spring show; he has done a
few other gigs with us, and we couldn't be happier to have him aboard.
You can read more about John on our webpage at
http://www.yale.edu/brass/about_brass.html.
We will be announcing our concerts soon. In the meantime, to whet
your appetite, here area couple of tidbits:
* The world premiere of an advent program written by our own Junius
Johnson reflecting on the spiritual meaning of many favorite
Christmas songs.
* The Beatles!
* Several concerts in celebration of the 50th anniversary of our
home performing space, the incomparable Beinecke Library!
So stay tuned for dates and details! We look forward to seeing you all
very soon and sharing more of our music with you!
