(Ventura, CA) – Mark the date! On Sunday, March 22 at 3pm, the Ventura Music Festival will present Mnozil Brass in “Cirque” – the musical flea circus” delighting audiences worldwide. The venue is the Rancho Campana Performing Arts Center in Camarillo.
“It’s a huge pleasure to present Mnozil Brass,” said Festival CEO Susan Scott; “They have legions of fans across the globe and we wanted to bring them for a long time. Their playing is both jaw droppingly virtuosic and seriously funny. When this tour was announced, I think we were the first to sign on. I know our first ticket-buyer was a band teacher ecstatic to see we were bringing Mnozil Brass. He bought a whole row for his students.”
Exactly who are the Mnozil Brass? a septet: six trumpets, six trombones and a tuba whose music embraces a mix of folk, jazz, pop and classical, resulting in “moments of sheer silliness and some of the finest brass playing imaginable.”
According to music critic Bill Benzon: “Their repertoire is all over the place and their genius is unmistakable. They are superb musicians . . . and skilled comedic performers, who put on (an extraordinary) show. Much of what they do is deeply serious in a way that only inspired buffoonery can be.”
