Brazos Breeze Flute Choir Christmas Concert
2022-12-18 | First United Methodist Church (Bryan), 506 E. 28th Street, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
The Brazos Breeze Flute Choir will perform its annual Christmas concert on Sunday, December 18th. The concert will take place at First United Methodist Church starting at 5 p.m.
The Brazos Breeze Flute Choir will be performing a few standard pieces plus a few with an interesting twist! This concert also features a world flute choir premiere of Sergey Khvoshchinsky’s Christmas Music Box. Sergey is primarily a choral composer but after watching a YouTube performance of the Brazos Breeze, he adapted this piece for our flute choir. It was originally scheduled to be performed in 2020 but was delayed by Covid cancellation.
A few featured selections are Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard’s When Christmas Comes to Town, and Valerie Coleman’s Jingle Bells. An added feature will be demonstrations of all the different flutes and instruments featured in the ensemble.
The composition of the group is piccolo, C flutes, alto flutes, bass flutes, contrabass flute, bassoon, and string bass. The members of the Brazos Breeze are professional musicians from cities around the area including Huntsville, Bellville, Brenham, Anderson, Austin, Waco, Greater Houston, Ft. Worth, Dallas, and Bryan/College Station. Rob Towell is the conductor.
Our special guest for this concert is the Kingwood Park High School Flute Choir under the direction of Bre Osbourn. Members of the KPHS percussion section will also be performing.
Admission to the concert is free but donations to defray concert expenses will be accepted.
The Brazos Breeze Flute Choir is an ensemble in residence at First United Methodist Church in Downtown Bryan. For more information, please contact Penny Zent at 979-268-1743 or send a message to brazosbreeze@gmail.com.
