The Rose Theatre
1 Theatre Lane
Brampton, ON
Time: 8:00 p.m.
The City of Brampton Concert Band under the musical direction of Darryl Eaton
will bring to close our 2011/2012 Rose Theatre Concert Series in
spectacular fashion. We are excited to invite you to an evening where
thoughtful moments balance with uplifting entertainment as we present
“Heroes and Villains” at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday February 25, 2012 at the
Rose Theatre.
The concert will focus on the theme in its broad sense in its many
manifestations in life, history, nature, literature and art. To do this
we have brought together a fantastic range of guest artists that will
help us explore the concept in music.
To start the show, we are extremely pleased to present William Snodgrass as a solo percussion feature in the selection “Flight of the Bumblebee”
as we look in a whimsical manner at how the theme is expressed in
nature. He will also team up with the rest of our percussion section in
a new selection for our band that features their considerable talents.
Violinist Susan Zach is a first-time guest with us and will be featured in the piece “Schindler’s List”.
The musical qualities of the violin and as expressed by Sue will bring
a deeply compelling element to this selection. You will also see her
throughout the evening as she lends a unique quality to our music with
an instrument not typically associated with concert band.
We are also very honoured to have Julia Pulo,
David Bloom-award-wining vocalist for her recent performances with
Brampton Music Theatre, as a guest. We have specially arranged a
version of “I Believe”, the uplifting theme to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics as a feature solo for her.
The concert will feature several new arrangements prepared especially
for band. These will highlight the talents of local guitarist James Faulkner,
who we welcome as both a guest instrumentalist and vocal soloist. He
will be a highlight in our final sequence where we look at how ordinary
people can be heroes in their own way.
The concert band will also perform “Fanfare For The Common Man” as a tribute to one of our own “everyday heroes” as we remember the passing of Fred Bacon
earlier this fall. Fred had a long and involved history with the
Concert Band including a long stint as the president. We felt it
fitting to spend a moment to commemorate his dedication to our
organisation.
The moving finale will also include the massed choirs of Fallingbrook and Tomken Road Middle Schools
as we underscore the potential in all of us, and especially that of
youth. The choirs will perform several numbers with the band and join “I Believe” with Julia Pulo. You will also hear Take Two, a choral group from the Tomken Road Middle School, featured in a solo selection.
From its contemplative start through to its inspiring finish, “Heroes
and Villains” will combine the music of the multiple award-winning
Concert Band with those of our feature guests and is a show not to be
not be missed. We hope to see you there.
