Remembrance and Resolve: A Veterans Day Concert with Bay Colony Brass

Bay Colony Brass, a twenty-member brass and percussion ensemble based in West Newton, presents a free concert celebrating our military veterans in the main sanctuary of Second Church in Newton, 60 Highland Street, West Newton, on Saturday, November 11, at 7:30 pm. The concert includes an array of music appropriate for the day including John Williams’ “Hymn for the Fallen” from the film Saving Private Ryan and Charles Ives’ Variations on “America.” Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller will join BCB and local veterans to read letters written by veterans from the Civil War. The concert concludes with Alfred Reed’s brilliant “Symphony for Brass and Percussion.”
