On Tuesday, Jan. 14, at 6:30 p.m. Pearl Street Arts Center welcomes Brass Reflections: An Evening with Seraph Brass.
This dynamic, all-female brass ensemble of Mary Elizabeth Bowden (trumpet), Raquel Samayoa (trumpet), Layan Atieh (horn), Lauren Casey-Clyde (trombone), and Robyn Black (tuba) present a diverse body of repertoire that includes original transcriptions, newly commissioned works, and well-known classics. They have toured throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, and will soon add the new Pearl Street Arts Center to their résumé.
This event is free to attend, but tickets are required, which you can get at pearlarts.org.
