The Gala Celebration! The Golden Gate Brass Band has also been invited to perform during the Gala Celebration weekend, at San Francisco's Crissy Field on Sunday, May 27th from 4:30-5:30PM at which time we will premiere our new composition "Musical Amalgam: Brass & Steel " - An Overture for Brass Instruments, Steel Girders and Bridge Remnants. "This piece will actually incorporate the pitches [tones/notes] produced by the suspended steel pieces donated by the maintenance staff of the Golden Gate Bridge," states Kenneth Brungess, composer and conductor of the organization. Top, "name" acts will continue into the evening followed by a glorious fireworks display over the waterfront with the Golden Gate Bridge as the backdrop! Don't miss this great family outing! It's FREE.
