November 13th concert: Old Town Goes Latin
Loop 2.4.3 featured on NPR
Many of you have seen Loop 2.4.3's lively percussion concerts for Classical Tuesdays in Old Town.
We're delighted to report that Loop 2.4.3's new CD, Batterie, was reviewed on National Public Radio's Fresh Air today. You can hear the full review here (it's the second feature in the show).
NPR also used a Loop 2.4.3 track as an interlude. The audio is here.
Congratulations to Loop 2.4.3 for a successful debut CD! And remember, you heard them here first, on Classical Tuesdays in Old Town. We hope to bring Loop 2.4.3 to Old Town again, next season.
Wonderful concert by Brass Unlimited, great audience
This week's Classical Tuesdays in Old Town concert was performed by the Brass Unlimited quartet. The members are David Mulkins and Karl Ronning on trumpets, and Keith Gorsuch and Eric Stevens on trombones. All four are professional music-educators in the Tacoma public schools.
Thanks to Jamie for the photo of the concert!
Brass Unlimited had appeared in the first season of our series, and we were happy to bring them back -- by popular request. They played wonderfully, individually, and especially as an ensemble, as only a group that has performed together for ten years could. Let's be sure to watch for the Brass Unlimited tenth anniversary concert at the end of January.
The pieces performed Tuesday night were often lyrical and mellifluous, at other times sonorous and stirring. The program was full of concert favorites composed by Beethoven, Mozart, Frackenpohl, American-great Copland, and many others. All the selections were transcribed by member Keith Gorsuch.

"Totally bad brasses", like, yeah!
We always enjoy these backhanded compliments from the Volcano. About the concert next Tuesday the 9th:
We agree. Totally.Arts and cultural picks of the week
Trumpets and Trombones: Somebody’s gotta love ’em. And you can’t do anything but love trumpets and trombones running through Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Aaron Copland at once. Which is what you’ll get when Classical Tuesdays in Old Town presents “Sounds of Celebration: Brass Unlimited in Concert". Four professional music educators — David Mulkins (trumpet and piccolo trumpet), Karl Ronning (trumpet and flugelhorn, Eric Stevens (trombone), and Keith Gorsuch (bass trombone) are totally bad brasses. Check it. — SS
