Axiom Brass:ÌýLimitless

On Friday, Axiom Brass will take the audience on a journey through space and time, with music stretching from master of the baroque J.S. Bach to soundtrack and video game composer Anthony DiLorenzo and brass specialist Anthony Plog, composer of the children’s operaÌýHow the Trumpet Got Its Toot. The concert will feature projected images created by astronomer Kyle Kremer.

This multimedia concert marks Axiom Brass’ third appearance at Adelphi. In addition to its main stage concert on March 22, presented as part of the ensemble’s Department of Music residency, Axiom will work with student composers on works written for their instrumentation of two trumpets, French horn, trombone and tuba. The ensemble will also perform a fragment ofÌýLimitlessÌýat the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City for invited students from the Freeport Public Schools on Long Island.

Establishing themselves as “one of the major art music groups in brass chamber music,” Axiom Brass has been touted for its “high level of musicality and technical ability” and “clean, clear and precise sound.” The quintet has made national radio and television appearances as well as performing concerts in Asia, Europe and across the United States.

What Would Petula Do?ÌýA Tribute to Petula Clark Starring Maxine Linehan

On Saturday night, it’s a trip backward in time as renowned concert and recording artist Maxine Linehan embodies the British master of American soul, Petula Clark, known for such hits as “Don’t Sleep on the Subway” and “Downtown.” Her musical tributeÌýWhat Would Petula Do?—spanning Clark’s remarkable career of more than five decades—resulted in a CD of Clark’s hits in 2011 and a second one slated for next year.

Apart from portraying Clark, the Irish-born Linehan performed to sold-out audiences in her solo showÌýAn American Journey, a story of immigration told through song, and has recorded songs by Leslie Gore and U2. Linehan became a YouTube sensation in the fall of 2015 with a tribute to Daniel Murphy of the World Series-bound New York Mets, performed to the tune of the Irish classic “Danny Boy.”
