PVSD Foundation Performing Arts Series features Dallas Brass
In its brief 200 years, our nation has created more original musical forms than any other nation or culture. Incorporating humor with intricate playing and a touch of history, the internationally acclaimed Dallas Brass will perform some of America’s greatest hits from the past 230 years at the Perkiomen Valley Middle School EAST Auditorium on Wednesday Evening April 9th, 2008 at 7:30 P.M.
Stirring audiences of all ages wherever they go, the Dallas Brass will perform the sounds of Henry Mancini, Benny Goodman, Leonard Bernstein, John Philip Sousa, Aaron Copland and more. American Musical Journey is a showcase of the gifts American composers have given to our nation and a delightful and elegant display of the musical talents of this outstanding ensemble.
 In addition to their solo engagements, the Dallas Brass appears with symphony orchestras nationwide. Symphonic credits include the Cincinnati Pops, the New York Pops, and the Philly Pops conducted by Peter Nero. The Dallas Brass has performed at Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and has toured overseas to Europe and the Far East. They have shared the stage with the late Bob Hope, have performed for Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush, have appeared on the CBS “Early Show”, and their music has been used numerous times on the television show, “The Young & The Restless”.
The Dallas Brass includes an unprecedented educational component with each performance to educate and inspire local student musicians. The band members of Perkiomen Valley High School, Perkiomen Valley Middle School East and Middle School West will spend the morning and afternoon with the Dallas Brass musicians in rehearsals and clinics, then take the stage to perform with the Dallas Brass during the evening performance. “This will be an evening of music this community will not soon forget,” says Michael Levine, Dallas Brass founder and trombonist.
American Musical Journey is fun, lively, and entertaining - perfect for the entire family. Tickets: Adults, $10.00, Students, $5.00. To purchase tickets:
