AXIOM BRASS

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com


HORN CONCERT !


AND MORE !


BRASS.....12 HORNS...FIVE GUYS...CLASSICAL MUSIC AND A HORN BIO AND HISTORY.


HORNS TEND TO BE LOUD.....NOT REAL BAD HERE AT UNLV'S DOC RANDO RECITAL HALL IN THIS ONE NIGHTER....THE COLLEGE TENDS TO BRING IN WORLD CLASS MUSIC GROUPS AND HAVE THEM WORK WITH THEIR MASTER COLLEGE CLASSES....THEY DID AGAIN HERE...A THEME GOOD FOR ALL.


PLUS THE CONCERT....4 MINUTES LATE.....ALMOST TWO HOURS...WELL PLAYED AND WELL PREVIEWED CLASSICAL HORN MUSIC....I LOVED THE MUSIC LESSON I GOT THIS NIGHT AND OCCASSIONALY YOU GET TO HEAR MUSIC THAT IS 350 YEARS OLD....DID HERE !


THIS CONCERT A PREVIEW OF GREAT THINGS COMING TO UNLV....MAYBE THE BEST IS SATURDAYS MOSCOW FESTIVAL BALLET....CINDERELLA AT HAM HALL 8 PM....TICKETS AVAILABLE 702 895 2787....A REVIEW OF THIS SHOW SOON TO COME HERE....BALLET ALWAYS RECOMMENDED AT THIS GREAT VENUE.


BACK TO THE HORNS......I TEND TO LIKE THE TALK BEFORE EACH PIECE ABOUT THE COMPOSER AND THE MUSIC...LEARNED A LOT THIS NIGHT...ALMOST TOO MUCH !


I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE MUSIC STAND AND TURNING PAGES DURING THE PIECES IS NO LONGER THE WAY ITS DONE....AXIOM BASS HAD VIDEO SCREENS IN FRONT OF THEM THAT THEY TURNED THE PAGES WITH BY FOOT PEDDLES....A FIRST FOR ME....THEY EXPLAINED IT WELL AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS THAT THEY USED....FOUR APIECE FOR THE TRUMPET PLAYERS.
ALWAYS HATE INTERMISSION...ADDS NOTHING AND OFFERS AND OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE...NONE DID TONIGHT !


FIRST CLASS STUFF.......95 A


DONT FORGET SATURDAYS BALLET ! ! !
