The River City Brass Band will play at Mellon Park this Sunday, June 28th as part of Bach, Beethoven and Brunch! Artistic & General Director James Gourlay and Principal Euphonium Algirdas Matonis joined Jim Cunningham live on the QED Morning Show to chat and play.
The band will play a variety of marches, classic rock, and other quintessential American tunes. Algirdas talks about coming to Pittsburgh from Lithuania and finding a home with River City Brass. James praises the musical evolution of the band, and runs through their other upcoming performances this summer.
James and Algirdas also played two pieces, arranged for tuba and euphonium, live in the WQED-FM recording studio. They began with Bach's "Air on the G String" and continued WQED-FM's 9:05am Mozart tradition with the Horn Duets.
