Celebrate the Holidays with The Atrium Brass Quartet at UUSE on Sunday, Dec. 1, at 3PM at the UUSE Meetinghouse, 153 Vernon St. West, in Manchester. Admission is free. This concert is given in memory of Lynn and Roland Chirico, longtime members of UUSE.
The Atrium Brass Quintet formed in 1991 uniting five friends who shared a love of brass music. Jim Lendvay (tuba) serves as the group’s director and librarian. His goal from the beginning was to create a brass group dedicated to top 40 music. That’s the top 40 of the last four or five centuries!
 
The group typically plays ceremonial music at graduations, weddings, and church services, but is just as happy to play music for concerts and cocktails. Their library is expansive and varied, and includes selections from the renaissance to today, including circus marches and music of contemporary artists like Freddy Mercury and Sting. While audiences may not know the titles of every piece Atrium performs, they’ll find it familiar to the ear. As Jim likes to joke, “it’s all the music you didn’t know you wanted to hear!”
 
Performers for our December 1st concert will be: Steve Owens and Steve Lyons, trumpets; Beth Pratt, French horn; Fred Bagnall, trombone; and Jim Lendvay, tuba.
