American Brass Quintet will play at Oklahoma State University
STILLWATER, Okla. — The American Brass Quintet will perform at 8 p.m. March 26 in the Seretean Center for the Performing Arts at Oklahoma State University.
This year, the American Brass Quintet celebrates a milestone as it turns 50.
“Very few chamber music groups stay around this long,” said Jonathan Martin, assistant professor of music and director of jazz studies at OSU. “This is a world-renowned group and is considered to be one of the best brass chamber groups in the business.”
The New York-based musicians have played more than 1,000 concerts in their 50 years, as well as itemized the discography of more than 50 recordings.
Part of the quintet’s mission is education. They have served in residence at the Aspen Music Festival and School since 1970 and at The Juilliard School since 1987. They conduct mini-residencies at universities and colleges.
Current quintet members are Raymond Mase and Kevin Cobb on trumpet; David Wakefield, horn; Michael Powell, trombone; and John Rojak, bass trombone.
The event is open to the public. Tickets are $5 for students and seniors; general admission is $7.
