The River City Brass Band will bring its distinct sound to Elon University’s McCrary Theatre for a concert at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 16. With its instrumentation of brass and percussion, the Pittsburgh-based ensemble offers an upbeat revival of an American tradition that was widespread at the turn of the 20th century.
Featuring 28 musicians, the River City Brass Band produces the richness of a symphony orchestra, the intimacy of a chamber ensemble, the swing sound of Big Band and the brilliance of a military band.
River City Brass Band has appeared on The Today Show, NPR Performance Today, Voice of America and toured extensively in the United States and internationally.
Tickets for the performance are $12 or free with Elon identification. Tickets may be purchased at the McCrary Theatre box office at (336) 278-5610. The box office is open from 12:30 p.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.
