Acadian Brass Quintet plans Tuesday concert

The Acadian Brass Quintet, the resident brass ensemble for historic St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Baton Rouge, plans a concert of sacred, classical, and popular contemporary music at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The newly named group is conducting its first performance outside the context of a liturgical service, according to David T. Summers, director of music and organist at the cathedral.

The program, with its classical and pop favorites and even some pipe organ solos, presents something for everyone, Summers said.
The selections include:

• “Amparito Roca” by Jaime Texidor Dalmau
• “Girl with the Flaxen Hair” by Claude Debussy
• "Scherzo” by John Cheetham
• “Contrapunctus I” from The Art of Fugue by J. S. Bach
• “Ain’t Misbehavin’” by Fats Waller
• “Sophisticated Lady” arrangement by J. Gale
• 11 Preludes for Organ (Op. 122) by Johannes Brahms
• Chorale fantasia on “Valet will ich dir geben” (BWV 735) by J. S. Bach -- Triumphal March from “Judas Maccabaeus” by G. F. Handel
• Sonata from “Die Bankelsangerlieder” by Anonymous
• “My Spirit Be Joyful” by J. S. Bach
• “Brass Quintet No. 3” by Victor Ewald

The brass quintet consists of David Perkins and Fritzgerald Barrau on trumpet, Joshua Crook on horn, Adam Colbenson on trombone and Travis Scott on tuba.

This program is free and open to the public. St. Joseph Cathedral is located at 401 Main Street at North Fourth Street. For more information, contact (225) 387-5928, [email protected].
