Musical selections infuse German renaissance and seventeenth century baroque with contemporary and American. For example, “Suite from West Side Story” by Leonard Bernstein blends opera, jazz, and Latin America dance music. The swing favorite, “If I Only Had a Brain” by Harold Arlen, combines fun with charming.
The challenging, powerful, and sometimes playful music highlights each musician’s skillset. A Touch of Brass includes David Bohnert, trumpet; Kevin McLouth, trumpet; Gary Reeves, horn; Randy Neuharth, trombone; and Josh Calkin, tuba. The group has entertained audiences in Northeast Nebraska and the surrounding area for more than 30 years.
