Empire Brass Celebration with Greg Zelek, organ: OVERTURE Concert Organ’s 20. Season

I was lucky to meet Empire Brass as a high school student when they came to my hometown to the clinic and concert in 1984. Many years later I was even more cheerful, when I was asked to join the group, I became a member of the band for 16 seasons and I could perform one of the best broth music in the world’s biggest concert halls. I am very cheerful that I am part of this concert program, which contains the most essential information from the famed group recordings and a breakthrough repertoire for both brass and organs, including the world premiere of my newly done work on the occasion of the 20th OVAN concert organs. Join us to the Empire Brass ceremony! – Mark Hetzler
