GPS to Present Synergy Brass Quintet Oct. 17
Dimnent Memorial Chapel, 7:30pm
 The quintet's unique, upbeat performances are known to engage both new and veteran classical audience members. "Five virtuoso musicians... the performance was superior," reviewed "The Rapid City Journal" of South Dakota.
Synergy Brass Quintet is one of the busiest ensembles in classical music today, averaging nearly 300 engagements per year. The group's engagements have taken the ensemble to every corner of the United States including the Ravinia Music Festival in Illinois, the Bethlehem Musikfest in Pennsylvania, the Tanglewood Music Festival in Massachusetts, and internationally at the Festival de Musica de Camara de Aguascalientes. And, after hearing the ensemble at Tanglewood in 2003, Samuel Adler invited the Synergy Brass Quintet to perform on the premiere recording of his "Transfiguration: An Ecumenical Mass." Synergy is often heard on National Public Radio, and in 2005 the quintet broadcast on NBC with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
