Mexico’s Leading Brass Quintet to Perform Thursday, April 26 at LHS

METALES M5 – Mexico’s finest young brass quintet, Metales MS will take the stage here in

Lamar at the Lamar High School Auditorium on Thursday, April 26, 2012. The performance will start at 7:00 pm, and is sponsored by the Southeast Colorado Concert Association.

When one thinks about Mexican music, the first type that comes to mind is the Mariachi Band….which is somewhat similar to the Brass Quintet Metales MS, except that Metales plays not only Mariachi music but all kinds of other music including classical, jazz and pops.

Their programming is nicely balanced between classical pieces (played in costume) and jazz tunes including a segment of “007” music (also in costume) and finishing off with lots of rousing Mexican folk tunes including a bullfight scene.

Each member of Metales MS has extensive professional background with his respective brass instrument. Holding degrees from universities in Germany and Mexico City, the musicians have played in the symphony orchestras of Bremen, Berlin, Monterrey, Guanajuato, Mexico City, Acapulco and Aguascalientes.

Their unique style combining fme chamber music with popular entertainment makes Metales MS incomparable. Metales M5 is fresh, funny and entertaining.
