“IT IS BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE
THAN CURSE THE DARKNESS.”
- Eleanor Roosevelt
This evening’s candles are lit in tribute of loved ones, lost and living, so that we may
all honor and remember the light they carry in our lives. This Memorial Day, we aim
to honor those on the front lines of the pandemic as well as the armed forces. Our
communities have been both mourning and healing in the wake of the last year. We
present these names and candles in loving tribute to those forever in our hearts.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF ARTISTRY & FAMILY!
The Denver Brass, presenting brass music of national and international
renown, was formed in 1981 by Kathleen and Charles Brantigan. The
organization was built on a vision of a one-of-a-kind professional
chamber ensemble that would be at the forefront of brass performance,
entertainment, original commissions, education, and community service.
Unique in the world, Denver Brass has set itself apart through its sound, original repertoire, and
state-of-the-art multi-cultural show productions.
The elements of The Brass’ trademark sound include more than 13 distinct instruments—including
an array of rarely-used trumpets in various pitches—and the exceptional technical and expressive
expertise of some of the nation’s finest brass musicians. Together they produce a rainbow of timbre:
not a band, not an orchestra, but an entirely new phenomenon. Exploration of fusions of music
from diverse cultures and electronic and digital technology is central to groundbreaking artistic
development. Today’s Denver Brass is heard live by more than 40,000 persons at more than 130
season series, community, and educational events annually, as well as on popular social media
platforms and 30+ acclaimed recordings.
PROGRAM NOTES
Hope in Perilous Times - WORLD PREMIERE
A Gift from the Max DiJulio Fund
The Denver Brass commissioned bass trombonist Andrew Wolfe to write a new work that would
address the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The result, Hope in Perilous Times, is a
reflective, moving piece that takes the listener through the emotional cycle many of us felt during
this period of time. From initial mystery, to ominous menace, on to anxiety, sorrow and grief, Andy
captures the undulating sentiments of precarious times. The piece builds and builds, leading to what
can be described as a sense of relief before launching into a reflective end, filled with hope, joy, and
remembrance. Andy comments that “the music can mean something different to each person,” a
reflection of the fact that we all find ourselves with entirely different reactions to the pandemic and
how we are all, ultimately, working to rediscover hope and joy at the end of this perilous time.

at Austin as a graduate student, and the University of Miami as a doctoral
student. He has studied with many inspirational and highly regarded

Woody Herman, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Ray Charles, Natalie Cole,
Manhattan Transfer, Arturo Sandoval and Wynton Marsalis, to name just a
few. Alan has recorded extensively over his career, appearing on more than 50 albums, and it was
his first solo CD release, Just a Little Taste, where he found his own voice in the world of trumpet
virtuosos.
STEVEN TAYLOR - BARITONE
Steven Taylor is known to audiences throughout the Rocky Mountain
region both for his beautiful, expressive singing and his dramatic
interpretations. His versatile singing career ranges from opera and oratorio
to musical theatre, gospel, and Jazz. He has appeared onstage with Central

and Opera Colorado, and in concert with major symphonies and choral
