-------------------------

From The New Yorker magazine: "It would take a brave man to separate brass players from their beer. This festival pleads no contest, bundling a concert by the men of the Meridian Arts Ensemble - whose combination of technical expertise and adventuresome repertory is hard to beat - with a tasting of new brews from the nearby Brewery Ommegang." - concert in Cooperstown, NY, July 22.

music, I recommend this release
highly; if you are a brass fanatic, the disc is mandatory."

Listen to what Frank Zappa had to say about Meridian Arts Ensemble

Timbrando is our ninth CD for Channel Classics, and it is being released in the year of our twentieth anniversary. The CD is a travelogue of sorts, containing music we picked up on tour around Latin and South America and in the US. Several of the pieces on this disc were commissioned for our visit to the Subtropics Festival in Miami – a city that is a great crossroads of Latin culture – in 1997. Other pieces we collected in foreign places or from friends we made in those places. We have brought all this music to our home base, New York, another cross-cultural gathering place. And now to listeners wherever they may be. Timbrando is Portuguese for ‘making a tone’ or ‘sounding’ (it is related to the word ‘timbre’).
