FCBB Announces 2009 Summer Season Concerts

Frank Hilligas, Norlynn Nelson, Mark Baker, Debbie Baker, Rebecca Gillespie, Bob North, Jeremiah Fowler, Carl Chevallard, Anthony Ebert, and Andy King were members of the 2009 summer edition of the The Colorado Brass Band workshop held in Gunnison, June 22-26. This summer's workshop marks the 35th anniversary of the band's founding. The 45 piece ensemble performs a concert on Friday, June 26th at 7:00 PM at the band shell behind Quigley Hall on the Western State College campus. Among the numbers on this program is Kincaid's Rhapsodie, written by Paul Curnow, which commemorates the many contributions of Prof. John Kincaid, a founding member of the Colorado Brass Band and long time bandmaster of the Western State College band program in Gunnison. Frank Hilligas (Eb Tenor Horn) and Ritchie Clendenin (Eb Cornet) will be featured on Albinoni's Adagio. (More about the Adagio.) The program also features works by Goff Richards, William Himes, Philip Sparke, and other well known brass composers. (More about Kincaid's Rhapsodie.)

In addition to the concerts listed on our concerts page, we have finalized our summer season schedule for 2009. The concerts include five appearances at Soda Springs Park in downtown Manitou Springs, and our annual concert at Rockledge Ranch in the Garden of the Gods complex in Colorado Springs. These concerts feature a lighter fare with popular selections from our march repertoire and ensemble feature collection. All Soda Springs Park concerts begin at 7:00 PM and will begin on Thursday, June 18th. See the concerts page for more details and see you at the park!
