Submitted Photo Brass Band of Minot members are shown at a concert venue. The band will present its next concert Sunday in Minot State University’s Ann Nicole Nelson Hall.

Minot’s brass band will present a concert, “Music to Brighten the Winter,” at 4 p.m. on Sunday at Minot State University’s Ann Nicole Nelson Hall.

As North Dakota’s only British-style brass band, Brass Band of Minot has been bringing music to North Dakota since 1994, when it was created by a group of Minot-area brass musicians. Some of the founders still play with the band, joined by musicians of a variety of ages and backgrounds from Minot and the surrounding communities and led by Wayne Schempp, a retired music educator from Minot.

With Schempp currently recovering from an injury, two of the younger members of the band have stepped up for the Feb. 4 concert. Michael Harrison and Reese Hamilton, both band instructors with Minot Public Schools, will each conduct half of the concert that evening.

The concert will feature a variety of music, including “Mr. Sandman,” “The Fellowship of the Ring,” “Largo from the New World Symphony” and a medley of favorite Sousa marches.

“Music to Brighten the Winter” will be the third of this season’s concerts for the band. The band’s season will round off with another concert on March 24, also at 4 p.m. at Ann Nicole Nelson Hall. Brass Band of Minot concerts are free to the public, though donations are welcomed.
