\"Dizzy<\/a>

Dizzy Fingers is a showcase of the University's wind ensemble and jazz band. <\/p><\/div>\n

The University’s wind ensemble and jazz band will perform a dizzying array of music when they perform next week.<\/p>\n

Called Dizzy Fingers: an evening of musical fireworks from Shostakovich to Hindemith, the evening of music explores the ensemble’s repertoire and includes a debut performance by the Brockbusters, Brock’s jazz band. Both ensembles perform under the baton of conductor Zoltan Kalman.<\/p>\n

Dizzy Fingers will feature masterworks of the past and present, including Dmitri Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, Paul Hindemith’s Wind Symphony in B-Flat, The Year of the Dragon by Philip Sparke and Carl Maria von Weber’s Clarinet Concertino, among many others.<\/p>\n

The wind ensemble, part of the Department of Music,<\/a> showcases the talents of 60 musicians from the Brock community, local high schools, and professional musicians from Niagara and Hamilton.<\/p>\n

Brock’s jazz ensemble, the Brockbusters, is an extra-curricular club made up of 20 members, forming a standard stage band setting. The mission of the Jazz Band is to provide a venue to jazz lovers in the community.<\/p>\n

The performance happens Tuesday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the Centre for the Arts box office or the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
