James Berger presents Euphonium 4-3-2-1 on Wednesday, Mar. 22, starting at 7:30 PM. The cover is $5. (NOTE: This time has been updated to reflect the fact that this show will likely start earlier than most of our music shows, between 7:30 and 8 PM).
It will feature the Low End Brass Quartet (Isiaiah Cooper, Trombone; Bob Beech, french horn; Jim Berger, euphonium; and Keith Yarbrough, tuba). The Yet-Unnamed Trio (Dylan McDonnell, flute; Erica Holahan, bassoon; Jim Berger, euphonium). The Bassoon-Euphonium Paradise Duo (Erica Holahan, bassoon and Jim Berger, euphonium) and a couple of solo pieces… — thus, the 4-3-2-1 title.
It’s an hour of classical music from baroque to contemporary, performed by a variety of instruments and ensembles. Our specialty is performing pieces written for one set of instruments on other instruments– So, Mozart’s overture to The Magic Flute performed by a brass quartet; Bartok duets for two violins performed by bassoon and euphonium; a Bach cello suite performed on trombone; an Ibert trio for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon performed by bassoon, flute, and …. yes, euphonium; an Arthur Frackenpohl trombone quartet performed by french horn, tuba, euphonium, and, ok, one trombone; the great duet for two male voices from Bizet’s opera The Pearl Fishers performed by bassoon and euphonium. It’s fun, it’s lively, it gives a new sense and feeling to the music. And it’s all great music.
