In recent years the blurring of established parameters of classical music has been labeled "crossover"… but this phenomenon has existed for centuries.  During their lifetimes the music of Handel, Mozart, and Verdi, to name a few, was the popular music of  ‘common folk’ as well as the ‘serious music’ of aristocracy and royalty.  There is high quality music in all genres, and Brass Roots Trio presents that in colorful programming with unexpected twists and turns!

“Our Music Committee couldn’t have been happier with the group’s performance!  It was a wonderful way to end our season.”                       Vicki Sofranko, Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, FL   Aug. 2009

A lively program that captures vignettes of the many cultures of America with music ranging from Aaron Copland’s “Rodeo” to Billy Joel’s “Root Beer Rag.”  Brass Roots Trio brings to life memories of the Mississippi River boats and the musical legends that they carried from New Orleans, the southern gospel revivals and the haunting beauty of Appalachian melodies.  “American Impressions” is a heartwarming program that will stir the emotions! “The Brass Roots Trio took our audience on a joyful, toe-tapping ride through American music.  The performers established an immediate connection with the audience and wowed them with virtuosity!" Br. Nathan Cochran, Artistic Director, Saint Vincent College Concert Series, Latrobe, PA  Sept. 2009

“The appearance of Brass Roots Trio on our opening concert this year drew one of the biggest and most enthusiastic audiences that we have experienced…it was a true highlight!”                                  Jack Ashton, President, Fairmont Chamber Music Society, WV  Oct 2009
