Magnolia City Brass Band at Christ the King Lutheran Church

Houston's Magnolia City Brass Band returns to
Christ the King Lutheran Church for a concert
featuring two virtuosic French fanfares, by
Claude Debussy and Paul Dukas. The band
will perform two works of Houston's esteemed
composer, Dr. William Brusick. The premiere of
Dr. Brusick's transcription of J.S. Bach's Fantasy
and Fugue in G minor, showing off what brass
instruments can do with one of music's
greatest works, will conclude the first half of
the evening's program; while the second half
will be capped with Dr. Brusick's Purcell Suite,
a magnificent exposition of the British
composer's finest compositions. Along the way
you will enjoy John Williams' Hymn to the
Fallen and Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings,
surprisingly well-suited for the brass
instruments and featured in the movie
"Platoon.". This concert is free of charge, nevertheless,
The Magnolia City Brass Band, a 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt corporation, would greatly
appreciate your generous support.
