You've never heard the thrilling and inspiring sounds of Christmas quite like this - a stellar performance of the Stoneback Brass, featuring the Stoneback Sisters - coming to Summit Church in Alta on Sunday, Dec. 20 at 6 p.m.
Everyone is invited, and a freewill offering will be taken.
Audiences of all ages are enraptured by the funfilled talents of these professional performers - identical triplets Mary, Kristin, Sarah, and their parents Ron and Margie Stoneback, all from Westminster, Colo.
Their unforgettable concerts include a unique variety of virtuosic trumpet solos, trumpet trios, operatic voice, trumpet quartets, brass quintets with trumpet, french horn, trombone, and numerous other combinations, all set to the sounds of ceremonial fanfares, traditional marches, jazz, blues, spritual, gospel, and popular classics.
They have presented over 1,500 concerts throughout the United States and Europe, including with the International Trumpet Guild Conference, International Women's Brass Conference, National Association of Music Merchants, Texas Music Educators, Iowa Bandmasters, and many others.
They have also performed with leading trumpeters including the St Louis Symphony Brass, Doc Severinsen, Allen Vizzutti, Air Force Band of the West, Jester Drum & Bugle Corps, and many others.
Mary, Kristin and Sarah began their professional and academic careers at age 10, and at 12 they were each individually inducted into the Disney's Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra Hall of Fame. They are graduates of the highly esteemed Interlochen Academy for the Arts at Interlochen, Michigan, and studied four years at Arizona State University with world-renown trumpeter David Hickman.
The Stoneback Sisters have also served as Artists-in Residence at Southwestern College in Phoeniz, Ariz. And as a trio they have been awarded sole performance rights to the music library of legendary Hollywood trumpeter Rafael Mendez, and each presentation includes his popular classics.
