St. Charles Borromeo concludes fall concert series
The final concert in the St. Charles Borromeo Church Fall Concert Series presents a holiday feel, with the Grix Brass Quintet playing music of the Christmas season.
The Grix Quintet will perform works by Bach, Handel, Gabrieli, traditional Christmas Carols and other classic works. This ensemble is considered Manhattan’s cutting edge brass quintet. Grix specializes in the unique traditions of the brass quintet repertoire. While they regularly include Baroque-era works in their repertoire, the quintet also invests their creative effort in the proliferation of contemporary composers.
Throughout the history of Western music, brass instruments have been called upon to herald the coronations of monarchs, inspire the faithful in the world’s greatest cathedrals, and to rally the largest armies of the world before going into battle. Grix selects repertoire that features unique combinations of instruments. Each musician in Grix Brass brings an individual artistic perspective to the ensemble.
