The Eastern Iowa Brass Band is a part of a musical tradition that goes back to British mines and factories in the 19th Century. Steve Schomburg tells Dennis about one characteristic unique to Brass Bands that requires a little extra work from tubas and other low brass.
The band will perform a concert entitled “Horizons” March 2 at the Solon Community Center. It’s a program of classical and concert band pieces, as well as pop and jazz tunes, like MacArthur Park, Birdland, and even a brass-band arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody.
