FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
CELEBRATING AN EVENING OF CHANGE
The Retirement of Darryl Eaton as Music Director, Brampton Concert Band

“A WORLD OF MUSIC”
With performances by the Brampton Youth Concert Band and the Con Brio Singers and Will Snodgrass & Percussion Ensemble


Having had only eight music directors in its 129-year history, it is indeed a special occasion when there is a change in the music leadership of our organization. So it is as we close out our 2012/2013 Rose Theatre Concert Series with “A WORLD OF MUSIC” on February 23, 2013, that we make this very special announcement of the retirement of Darryl Eaton as music director of the band. We would like to invite the citizens of Brampton to attend this evening as we celebrate Darryl’s invaluable contribution to the growth of our organization and to present to you Vince Gassi as new music director of the City of Brampton Concert Band.

Darryl Eaton took over the music leadership role of our band in 1999. From the outset Darryl put his indelible stamp on the organization, he had a particular vision and high standard for what we could achieve and set forth to challenge our organization to growing to meet these goals. We can categorically state that his passion and energy is the foundation of all our recent achievements and successes.

“A World of Music” will be a celebration of Darryl and his time with our organization. Intermixed with our theme –a musical journey experiencing the distinctive styles of music found around the globe– the evening will feature a number of selections that will allow us to tell you the story of Darryl’s time with our band. It will also be our opportunity to formally present to you Vince Gassi as new music director of our organization. Vince has had an extended association with our group and we are very pleased that he has accepted our offer to take over as music director. Vince’s energy and vision for music fit well with the goals of our organization. We look forward to the new directions Vince will take us under his leadership!

We will feature the Brampton Youth Concert Band under the direction of Susan Barber Kahro as well as the Con Brio Singers under the direction of Gena Norbury and Will Snodgrass & Percussion Ensemble.

Tickets may be purchased at the Rose Theatre or Lester B. Pearson box offices or by calling 905 874-2800 or www.rosetheatre.ca.
