Brass band goes troppo
TROPICAL Brass is bringing ‘Brass Goes Aussie’ to Cairns this weekend.
The show on Sunday from 2-4pm will be staged at the Cairns Municipal Band rooms at 18 Charles St.
Band president Gary Turner said the architecture of the hall with a high ceiling gave a great sound and audiences always enjoyed ‘entertainment for every occasion’ which was their motto.
“The conductor Knobby Nielsen, who is well known in a variety of musical circles, is a man of many talents,” he said.
“He has former military music experience, teaching (currently tutors young older students), plays a mean trumpet, excels in jazz, a vocalist extraordinaire and specialises in presenting entertaining program.
“Tropical Brass is the performing ensemble associated with the well known Cairns Municipal Band.
“Tropical Brass has a policy of ‘taking music to the people’ and are specialists in the field of entertainment for all audiences.
“Tropical Brass instrumentation features traditional brass combined with woodwind and percussion as well as a brilliant keyboard feature.”
Tropical Brass was established in 1991.
Adult admission to Sunday’s show is $10.
