MENOMINEE — River Cities Concerts Association presents the world-famous Boston Brass quintet on Friday, April 5 at 7 p.m. CST at Blesch Auditorium in Menominee. This concert is sponsored by Aurie and Sara Jane Feifarek.

For over thirty years, Boston Brass has set out to establish a one-of-a-kind musical experience. From exciting classical arrangements to burning jazz standards to the best of the original brass quintet repertoire, Boston Brass treats audiences to a unique brand of entertainment, which captivates listeners of all ages.

The ensemble’s lively repartee, touched with humor and personality, attempts to bridge the gap of classical formality to delight audiences in an evening of great music and boisterous fun. The philosophy of Boston Brass is to provide audiences with a wide selection of musical styles in unique arrangements, provided in a friendly and fun atmosphere.

Playing over 100 concerts per year, Boston Brass has performed in 49 states and 30 countries and have conducted master classes around the world, including residencies at Eastman, Juilliard, Peabody and North Texas plus the Royal Academy of Music in London, and universities in Singapore and Bangkok.
