ST. LOUIS BRASS
Friday, Oct. 10, 2008 — 8pm
Having presented a brass quintet only once in LFCM’s forty-four year history, we figured a thirty-eight year hiatus is long enough. The St. Louis Brass is the same age as LFCM, and has performed over 500 engagements. The group began as an off-shoot of the St. Louis Symphony brass section, and now tours internationally to promote its nine recordings. Known for their educational outreach and commissions, the St. Louis Brass programs presents a mixed classical program with narration and unique interpretations.

PARIS PIANO TRIO
(Les Musiciens)
Friday, Nov. 7, 2008 — 8pm
Last November, Mayor Beutler bestowed honorary Lincoln citizenship to the Paris Piano Trio. We are planning another “homecoming” to hear this ensemble, considered one of the finest piano trios in Europe. The members have played together for over forty years since their days as students at the Paris Conservatory, bringing a richness and ensemble finesse not often witnessed.
