neiu.edu/ticketsThree world-class musicians redefine the chamber music genre with their adventurous programming of classical, jazz, Americana and Latin styles.
TRAVIS HEATH (trumpet & flugelhorn), DOUGLAS LUNDEEN (French horn & vocalist) and ROSETTA SENKUS BACON (piano) infuse their music with exuberant energy, and their warmhearted presentation makes an immediate connection with the audience.
A pioneer of this instrumentation - piano, trumpet and horn - BRASS ROOTS TRIO has played to standing ovations and rave reviews in every corner of the US and England since 2004. Their tours have included performances at Oxford University, St. James Piccadilly in London, the Chicago Brass Festival, and on Community Concert Series, Chamber Music Series and NPR. In 2009 the trio was honored to perform for President and Mrs. Obama and their guests at the White House.
The trio’s concert programs are an eclectic mix of styles. From a Baroque duet with piccolo trumpet and horn to jazz inspired Gershwin to Piazzolla’s decadent tangos and American Spirituals, BRASS ROOTS TRIO creates symphonic sounds, making three instruments sound like a small orchestra – and it’s always a surprise when the horn player puts down his instrument and sings an aria or spiritual with his magnificent tenor voice! The commentaries throughout the program are informative and often humorous.
Exhilarating performances and imaginative programming have established BRASS ROOTS TRIO as one of the most compelling ensembles of the 21st century.
