Saint Louis Brass Quintet 2011 tour includes stop at Hastings College
Note to media: For additional information, contact the Hastings College Department of Music at (402) 461-7448.
(Hastings, Neb.) – From Baroque to Big Band jazz, the Saint Louis Brass Quintet has been playing it all since 1964. On Friday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the French Memorial Chapel (800 N. Turner Ave.), the group brings its broad repertoire to Hastings College. The concert is free and open to the public.
Originally comprised of Saint Louis Symphony members, the Saint Louis Brass Quintet now features musicians from across the country. Each year, the quintet launches three ten-day tours which frequently include master classes and clinics for other musicians. During its visit to HC, the group will conduct a “Day of Brass” for area high school students, providing them an opportunity to hone their skills with professionals from Yale School of Music, the University of Texas-Austin and Indiana University.
The Saint Louis Brass Quintet’s overseas travels include tours of India, Japan, Mexico and Sweden.
The performance is sponsored by the Hastings College Department of Music, Hastings College Artist Lecture Series and the Hastings First Presbyterian Church, through the Langenberg Music Endowment with assistance from Mid-America Arts Alliance.
A spirit of excellence has long been the hallmark of the Hastings College music experience. Hastings College students and faculty have been making music from the beginning of the College in 1882. Hastings College is recognized as a National Liberal Arts College in the U.S. News and World Report annual “America’s Best Colleges” issue and a Best Midwestern College by Princeton Review. The Hastings College Department of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and also was named an All-Steinway School, one of only 82 worldwide.
The Department of Music offers a full range of vocal and instrumental opportunities for all Hastings College students. Major ensembles and small groups travel regularly, making special appearances at music conferences, schools, and churches. Vocal ensembles at Hastings College include the renowned Hastings College Choir, Men’s Chorus, HC Singers (treble voices), Spectrum vocal chamber ensembles, along with other special smaller groups. Instrumental ensembles include the Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Marching Band; Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Chamber Orchestra, Brass, and Percussion Ensembles, and the Bell Choir. The department serves as the permanent residence of the South Central Nebraska Children’s Chorale; the Nebraska State High School Honor Choir, Band, and Orchestra; and the Hastings Symphony Orchestra.
Music students can earn a Bachelor of Music degree with majors in applied performance, music education, and piano pedagogy. A Bachelor of Arts degree in music with an emphasis in performance, elementary education, music history or sacred music is also available. Hastings College offers a Master of Arts in Teaching with emphasis in music. In addition, the department sponsors student chapters of Sigma Alpha Iota, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Music Educators National Conference, and Music Teachers National Association.
