SWOSU Brass Ensembles to Present Fall Concert at First United Methodist Church

The Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) School of Music invites the community to enjoy an evening of powerful and inspiring brass music this Wednesday, November 5th at First United Methodist Church in Weatherford. The concert will feature performances by the SWOSU Trombone Choir, Brass Chamber Ensembles, and the SWOSU Brass Choir.

The program showcases a diverse selection of works by celebrated composers Anthony DiLorenzo, David Uber, Richard Strauss, Enrique Crespo, and others. Audiences can expect a wide range of styles-from the brilliance of Romantic fanfares to the warmth and energy of contemporary brass writing-all performed by SWOSU's outstanding student musicians.

"Our students have worked hard to bring this music to life, and we're excited to share it in such a beautiful and resonant space," said Dr. Philip Martinson, Associate Professor of Trombone and director of the SWOSU Brass Choir. "The church's acoustics really let the sound of the brass shine, and it's a wonderful chance for our students to share what they've been working on with the community."

The performance is free and open to the public.
