Our concert season opens with the Seraph Brass, now in its 12th season, which has been praised for its “beautiful sounds” (American Record Guide) and “fine playing” (Gramophone). Founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden, the ensemble has highlighted the emergence and excellence of women brass musicians. Seraph Brass is the winner of the American Prize in Chamber Music.
The ensemble members perform as an ensemble, as soloists with orchestras and wind bands, and in collaboration with other chamber artists. Appearances with esteemed orchestras include the London Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Highlights of recent seasons include performances with the Cusco Symphony Orchestra in Peru, the 78th Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, the Jeju Festival in South Korea, and Pro Music Joplin, Missouri.
Seraph Brass has been highly praised for music that is both “bright and warm” (Knox TN Today) and for “musical talent and prowess” (The Diamondback) that has continued to impress audiences. One reviewer noted that “walls continue to crumble in the classical world” by the women musicians of Seraph Brass.
Concertgoers here in Tryon will hear a diverse and wide-ranging program. The Prelude from Edvard Grieg’s Holberg Suite Op. 40, arias from the operas La Traviata and Turandot, and works by Mozart, Borodin, Liszt, and Gershwin round out the pieces by traditional composers. Known for their support of contemporary composers, Seraph will also play intriguing new works by Jeff Scott and Reena Ismail.
