Brevard Community Band Concert

On June 9th, 2019 the Brevard Community Band under the baton of Maestro Jamie Hafner will present ‘Anvils & Brass’ at the Straus Auditorium on the Brevard Music Center campus at 3PM.
Mr . Bobby Powell will be featured trombone soloist with the Brevard Community Band performing Morceau Symphonique by Guilmant.

Bobby is the Artistic Director and Conductor of the Upstate Winds Concert Band and Co-Founder and Principal Trombonist of the Corridor Brass and an active freelance trombonist.
Maestro Hafner takes the anvils by the horns when he conducts two Wagner pieces that will rattle the rafters. Know that no blacksmiths were injured in this performance. There will be a very slidey trombone section feature and selections from Rogers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific. You may recognize the ‘Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen’ theme from Gounods’ March of the Marionette and Fuciks’ Entry of the Gladiators is instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever witnessed a circus performance.
