McPHERSON, Kan. — Boston Brass brings its one-of-a-kind musical experience to the McPherson College stage in a Fern Lingenfelter Artist Series Concert on Sunday, January 26, at 7:30 p.m. at McPherson College’s Brown Auditorium. Admission to the concert is free.
McPherson College will also host Boston Brass for a masterclass on Monday, January 27, at 10 a.m. The masterclass is open to all area band students.
Since 1986, Boston Brass has set out to provide an uncommon musical experience. From exciting classical arrangements to burning jazz standards and the best of the original brass quintet repertoire, Boston Brass treats audiences to a unique brand of entertainment. The ensemble’s lively banter, touched with humor and personality, attempts to bridge the ocean of classical formality to delight audiences in an evening of great music and boisterous fun.
The quintet has played to audiences in all 50 U.S. states and over 30 countries. Though it regularly concertizes as a quintet, Boston Brass also performs with orchestras, concert and marching bands, organists, and jazz bands and regularly collaborates with composers to create new works for the brass canon.
Admission to the Lingenfelter concert is free thanks to a generous commitment to McPherson College honoring Fern Lingenfelter. Lingenfelter, an alumna of McPherson College, taught piano in McPherson for many years to college students on campus and younger students at her studio downtown. Her son, Steve Clark, chairman of Clark Investment Group of Wichita, established the fund that supports two annual music performance events with particular emphasis on piano.
