Brass Roots Quintet opens season at Reed Whipple
The Brass Roots Quintet performs its first concert of the season at 3 p.m. Sunday in the studio theater at the Reed Whipple Cultural Center, 821 Las Vegas Blvd. North.
The quintet plays a wide-ranging repertoire that embraces all styles of music, from classical selections to rollicking Dixieland and patriotic marches. Admission is free, but tickets are required. Call 229-6211 for information.
The five members are longtime Las Vegas professionals: trumpeters Gary Cordell and Rocky Lombardo, trombonist Walter Boenig, Doug Beasley on horn and Dan Uhrich on tuba.
The concert is presented by the Arts & Community Events Division of the city of Las Vegas Department of Leisure Services. The music is provided, in part, by a grant from the Music Performance Fund.
