Brazil Band to perform Broadway favorites and more Sunday

Monday, June 4, 2018

BRAZIL -- The Brazil Concert Band will present “A Musical Switch” Sunday, June 10, beginning at 8 p.m. at Brazil’s Forest Park rain or shine.

Director Matthew S. Huber and the band will offer classic Broadway favorites “Les Miserables” in a setting by Warren Barker and “The King and I” arranged by R.R. Bennett.

From the United Kingdom comes the quick-paced “A Musical Switch” by Kenneth J. Alford which is a medley of late 19th- and early 20th-century songs.

Early American folk tunes are in “Kentucky 1800” by Clare Grundman.

Sounds of the circus include “Ung-Kung-Foy-Ya” and “The Golden Dragon” both by Karl L. King.

John Philip Sousa pokes fun at Prohibition in his comic suite “People Who Live in Glass Houses.”

Two Sousa marches, “The Federal March,” written for Australia during the Sousa Band’s world tour in 1910, and “Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company” from 1924 are also scheduled.
