Gramercy Brass Band Camp Finale Concert

On Sunday, August 4th, students from across the metropolitan area will accompany a body of world-class musicians at Gramercy Brass Band Camp's Finale Concert.

Gramercy Brass Band Camp, a nonprofit program presented by the nationally recognized Gramercy Brass Orchestra of New York, is a annual camp for students of brass and percussion in grades 4-12.  This year's camp runs from July 29 - August 4 and culminates in a full-length concert open to the public.  The concert will be held at World of Wings in Teaneck and begins at 3:00 pm. 

Tickets to the concert are:
•    $20 for adults
•    $10 for students & seniors
and are available NOW at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/424674

Thanks to World of Wings' generosity, all concert ticket holders also receive a 50% discount on admission to World of Wings exhibits on concert day.

In its ninth year, the camp is developing a strong tradition of producing fine young musicians, many of whom go on to study music in college.

"I'm excited that Gramercy Brass Band Camp has reached its ninth season.  So many students have let me know that one of the highlights of the program is playing side by side with professional members of Gramercy Brass Orchestra," says the program's founder/director John Henry Lambert.

"Parents and school band directors have described Gramercy Brass Band Camp as one of the most motivational brass and percussion programs of its kind available.  It is one of our main goals to educate and introduce the talented and deserving students in our area to repertoire that is current on the international brass scene."
