Keys to the Library Concerts – December Performance

December’s performance presents the Northern Brass Quartet. Come out and experience some Christmas cheer to the joyful and upbeat music of the ensemble.

Backgrounder
The group was founded in 1980 as a quintet, but has established itself as an ensemble of two trumpets and two trombones. Members for the last twenty years include Richard Perras and Peter Scherzinger, trumpets, as well as Charlotte Leonard and Catherine Valiaho, trombones. Their repertoire ranges from the Renaissance and Baroque to jazz and contemporary music. Both Leonard and Scherzinger have composed and made arrangements for this ensemble. The quartet has performed in many venues and churches across the region, including the Vale Living with Lakes Centre, Laurentian and Nipissing Universities, as well as with many other groups including the Bel Canto Chorus.

The “Keys to the Library Concert Series is a fundraising project to purchase a piano with the aim to continue to present monthly musical performances and musical literacy sessions. Please come out and support local musicians and this fundraising endeavour.
