The proceeds from the event benefitted the band programs of those students who participated in the event. They included, Franklin, Foxboro, Bishop Feehan, Norton, Sharon and Attleboro High School Music Departments.

Woodwind, Brass and Percussion Library Performance Series:

Epic Brass - Attleboro Library, Norton Library, Seekonk Library

The MRP was delighted to sponsor the Epic Brass Quintet for a wonderful concert performance of an educational nature featuring the brass family of instruments: trumpet, cornet, french horn, trombone and tuba. The family oriented concert was a hit with young and old alike. Along with playing a variety of songs, the audience was introduced to each instrument via an interesting lecture.

Conbrio Quintet - Norton Library, Seekonk Library

For the classical minded, The ConBrio Quintet provided a relaxing performance of classical woodwind music and the children’s favorite, “Peter and the Wolf.” The Quintet featured the woodwind family of instruments: oboe, bassoon, clarinet, flute and one brass, a french horn. The family oriented concert was a sophisticated look at this family of instruments, including an educational lecture on each instument.
