Center Meeting House

Center Meeting House of Newbury was pleased to be the lead off event in Newbury's growing Old Home Day celebration.  For the third year in a row, CMH provided a musical entree to this annual event with a musical presentation that included world class musicians.  Two years ago it was Elisabeth von Trapp and Erich Korry.  Last year, it was the United States Navy's Northeast Show Band.  This year, five lead musicians from Boston's finest orchestras combined as the New England Brass Consort to provide a FREE evening of world class entertainment that enthralled a crowd that exceeded 200 people.  In a town of 2,000 people, this is a crowd!  Afficionados said that the quintet's musical presentations were outstanding, with great introductions by the musicians.  Some of the background information seemed to make the music all the more understandable.

Our players were Dana Oaks, Trumpet; Don Rankin, Tuba; Robert Couture, Trombone; Dana Russian, Trumpet; and, Fred Aldrich, Horn.
