    Toronto Mozart Players Present: Brass by Alec Wilder

    Church of the Redeemer

    December 03, 2017

    2:00 pm

    Alec Wilder (1907-1980), was an American composer whose original style fuses jazz, American song and European classical forms and techniques. His chamber music for brass is inventive, touching, beautifully crafted and thoroughly entertaining! While he didn't reach the fame and wealth of George Gershwin his musical expression similarly blends popular and classical styles and bridges musical communities.

    The Toronto Mozart Players are proud to present these superb brass players from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in this unique program:

    Steven Woomert, trumpet
    James Spragg, trumpet
    Audrey Good, horn
    Vanessa Fralick, trombone
    Mark Tetreault, tuba
    Rachael Kerr, piano

    Program: Music for Brass by Alec Wilder
    Three Vignettes for trombone and piano 
    Suite in Three Movements for trumpet and piano 
    Duet for horn and improvised percussion 
    Suite No. 1 for tuba and piano “Effie” 
    Suite No. 2 in Five movements for horn, tuba and piano 
    Jazz Suite in Five Movements for Brass Quintet
