POTSDAM -- The Potsdam Brass Quintet will perform Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 7:30 p.m. in the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall at SUNY Potsdam.

The performance will feature works by Tomaso Albinoni, Thom Ritter George, Anthony DiLorenzo and others. Also included on the program are George Gershwin's "An American in Paris," and a selection from "Porgy and Bess."

The concert will close with the whimsical work, "Mouse, Pl. Mice," by Raymond Dempsey, in which the composer presents musical vignettes of five decidedly different species of mice, all with unique musical characteristics -- from the harvest mouse (micromus minutus) escaping its hawkish predator, to the sleepy house mouse (mus musculus) curled up in its nest, to the wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus) whose discovery of some fermented wheat has left him somewhat inebriated.

Admission is free.

Now in its 48th year, the Potsdam Brass Quintet is the brass quintet-in-residence at The Crane School of Music. The group consists of John Ellis and James Madeja, trumpet; Lauren Becker, horn; Mark Hartman, trombone, and Charles Guy, tuba.

The quintet recently returned from a concert tour of Western New York. In January 2016, they will be a featured ensemble both at a brass festival held at the University of Florida and at a conference of the Erie County Music Educators Association.
