The Chestnut Brass Company gave a historical lesson using music last night at the Lied Center.
About 450 people saw the company's variety of instruments including reproductions and real historical brass instruments.
"For this concert we tried to choose music as thrilling as possible. We wanted the students to enjoy and think, 'Maybe I can learn one day to play fun music like them.'" Hesse said.
The quintet came to the University as part of the Midwestern Music Camp's summer concert series. The group includes founders Bruce Barrie, trumpet; and Jay Krush, tuba; as well as Larry Zimmerman, trombone; Susan Sexton, trumpet; and Marian Hesse, horn and assistant professor of music and dance at the University.

The company was created in 1977, when Bruce Barrie and Jay Krush started playing together on the streets of Philadelphia. The group's name is an homage to the corner where they used to perform: 17th and Chestnut streets. Since then, they have performed in different parts of the United States, France, Germany, Italy, the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico. The Chestnut Brass Company presents more than 100 performances each year.
