On Sunday, Jan. 30 at 7:30 p.m., the Gardner-Webb Department of Music hosted Brass Fest featuring the Carolina Brass’s 25th Anniversary concert in Hamrick Hall’s Blanton Auditorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert kicked off with a song called, \u201cCarolina in the Morning\u201d<\/em> by Kahn, arranged by Arthur Frackenpohl, followed by \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera\u201d<\/em> by Andrew Lloyd Webber, arranged by Jack Gale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an intermission the band continued with the \u201cTrumpet Voluntary<\/em>.” The second part of the evening was full of songs well-known for the general public while the band wrapped up the night with an outstanding version of a song \u201cDon’t Stop Me Now\u201d<\/em> by Freddie Mercury, arranged by Seb Skelly, followed by \u201cJust  Closer Walk\u201d<\/em>, arranged by Don Gillis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The audience could see the top-level artists who performed throughout the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the band also serve as professors across the area, sharing their knowledge with students. We don’t have to go far to meet one – Tim Hudson is a Yamaha Performing artist and an Associate Professor of Trumpet at Gardner-Webb University. This Indiana University Alumni is a founder of Carolina Brass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Campbell, who is also a member of the Winston-Salem Symphony, teaches horn at multiple universities including Gardner-Webb, together with David Wulefeck, the Principal trombonist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonio Marti, who has roots in Spain, has many orchestral experiences, including The Tokyo Symphony and JONDE (Youth Spanish National Orchestra), where he was performing among a few talented musicians playing his instrument, trumpet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday night we could also see Matt Ransom, the Principal tuba and John R. Beck, a percussionist, a former member of the United States Marine Band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next event which is going to be hosted by the Gardner-Webb Department of Music will be the spring musical \u201cQuilters\u201d, directed by Stafford Turner and conducted by Patricia Sparti. You can join the event on Feb. 24 – 26, at 7:30 p.m. and also on Feb. 27, at 2:30 p.m., again in the Dover Theater. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
