With its rich array of virtuoso brass players and percussionists, the RIVER CITY BRASS BAND can produce the full, rich sonorities of a symphony orchestra, the delicate, intimate sounds of a chamber ensemble, the toe-tapping brilliance of a military band and the swinging rhythms of a big band. The RCBB concert at Rockwell Hall will be a celebration of the American spirit.
RIVER CITY BRASS BAND concerts are pleasing to a very wide spectrum of the concert-going public, with performances presented in a relaxed, informal and entertaining style. A popular feature of RCBB concerts are conductor Denis Colwell's witty remarks - informing and educating the audience and enriching the concert experience.
The RIVER CITY BRASS BAND takes a great deal of pride in preserving and enriching its musical heritage by placing particular emphasis on the performance of music by American composers, and through the performance of new works, including some commissioned by the RCBB. In addition, the Band has performed the American premieres of numerous brass band works by British composers, including Sir William Walton, William Mathias, Gordon Jacob, Malcolm Arnold, Philip Sparke and Sir Arthur Bliss.
Currently, the RCBB has one of the most active schedules among American touring ensembles, performing 60 or more concerts on tour each year. The Band toured overseas in 1988 when, together with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and The Twyla Tharp Dance Company, it represented the United States at the celebration of Australia's Bicentennial. During its month-long tour "down under", the RCBB won rave reviews for its performances at the Adelaide Festival, the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne's Moomba Festival, the Queensland Performing Arts Center in Brisbane, and the New Zealand International Festival of the Arts.
