Motor City Brass Quintet to Play Kaleidoscope Concert Series in Chelsea

The Motor City Brass Quintet will perform a special concert at the Silver Maples of Chelsea on Dec. 18.

The performance is part of Silver Maples' Kaleidoscope Concert series, and will take place at 7 p.m.

Recently featured at The Tanglewood Music Festival in Massachusetts, the Motor City Brass Quintet has been noted for their ”creative vitality” and “seamless and highly music performances."

The group features some of Detroit's most creative and versatile brass musicians, including members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Michigan Opera Theatre Orchestra. The quintet's members have taught at institutions including the University of Michigan, the University of Toledo, Grand Valley State University, and Albion College.

"We love the Motor City Brass Quintet,” said Shawn Personke, director of activities and public relations for Silver Maples. “Not only are they incredible musicians, they are a lot of fun and have a great show. There’s nothing quite like the perfect coupling of brass instruments and holiday music.”

Originally funded by the Chelsea Community Foundation, the Kaleidoscope Concert series is now funded through donations from community members and businesses. The December concert is sponsored by Ferguson & Widmayer, PC.

The concert will take place at Silver Maples, 100 Silver Maples Dr., in Chelsea.  The concerts are free, but tickets, available at the Chelsea Senior Center, are required.
