Princeton premiere

The Princeton Brass Band are getting ready for a world premiere.

Princeton
 

The Princeton Brass Band will be giving the World Premiere of Ronald Hemmel's 'Grounds and Sculptures' later this month in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, USA.

Sculptures

The work is based on a series of sculptures found at the famous Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey.

Each musical depiction of the sculptures is interwoven with a sequence of 'grounds' or passacaglias, and the performance will be presented with projections of the sculptures behind the band.
