Brass band comes to Milford

Posted

MILFORD, PA — America’s leading trombone group, the Guidonian Hand, will perform at the Milford Theatre on October 4 at 5:30 p.m. The concert is being produced by Kindred Spirits Arts Programs. Guidonian Hand gets its name from a medieval device that helped singers read music scores. Today’s Guidonian Hand features top trombonists Mark Broschinsky, Will Lang, Sebastian Vera, and James Rogers, and it specializes in new music as well as the classics and features.

In addition to all-trombone arrangements of works by Bach, Mozart, and Haydn, Guidonian Hand will play pieces such as Jeremy Howard Beck’s “Awakening,” based on the shofar (ram’s horn) used during observances of the Jewish new year. They’ll also perform jazz legend Thelonius Monk’s “’Round Midnight” in an arrangement by another jazz legend, trombonist Slide Hampton.

Tickets cost $20 at the box office or $15 when purchased in advance at kindredspiritsarts.org or at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad Street, Milford. Children under 15 are admitted free.
