MANSFIELD, PA—The Mansfield University Brass Band (MUBB), under the direction of Nathan Rinnert, will perform in concert on Monday, April 27, 7:30 p.m. in Steadman Theatre. The concert is free and open to the public.
MUBB took second place in the third section of the North American Brass Band Championships (NABBA) in Fort Wayne, IN last month. It was the ensemble’s first ever competition.
Formed in the spring of 2006, MUBB is the only British-style university brass band in the state of Pennsylvania.
The concert program will include contest pieces, along with other brass band repertoire, solos and chamber ensembles.
MUBB performs everything from polkas and marches to more contemporary, advanced selections on traditional British brass band instruments; cornets/flugelhorn, alto horns, baritones, euphoniums, trombones, E-flat & B-flat tubas, and percussion. The MUBB also places a focus on performing historical American brass band repertoire from the late 19th century.
