Seattle: Wagner for low brass at UW, Aug. 5

[Norm in Bellevue]

Below is a forward of an email from Steve Fissel, SSO bass bone. Admission is free, will occur in Brechemin Auditorium at UW School of Music at 7:30 p.m. on Wed, Aug. 5.

Dear Low Brass Enthusiast:

In years past when we have done the Ring here in Seattle I have
organized a presentation of excerpts for low brass taken from the
scores of Wagner's great four part music drama. This year I am again
making such a presentation with some of the outstanding students who
have been recently been studying with me.

In this concert you will hear many well-known passages (and maybe some
not so well-known!) plus discussion of Wagner's leitmotifs and use of
the instruments (what's a steerhorn?), a demonstration of the contra-
bass trombone (in F), and some Q & A.

Hope to see you there!

Hojotoho!,

Steve
