Holiday Brass Quintet at The Allen Center

Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra presents the first concert in this season’s Salon Series- Holiday Brass Quintet, featuring traditional holiday favorites, at The Allen Center in Newton at 7pm on December 2nd. For tickets and information visit proarte.org. The Salon Series is Pro Arte's chamber music concert series. Each performance features a select handful of musicians from Pro Arte's cooperative along with occasional guest artists to present musical gems not featured in the full orchestral Ensemble Series.
“The holiday season is a time that brass players look forward to every year,” said Pro Arte’s principal horn player Robert Marlatt. “So much great music has been written over the centuries that put the sound of trumpets and horns out front for all to hear.” This year’s concert will include music by Handel and Bach, along with traditional carols and more familiar popular Christmas songs. “This is a relatively new holiday tradition for Pro Arte, which we started as an online concert during the pandemic. We are thrilled that we’ve continued to do it annually ever since live and in person,” declared Marlatt.
