ABQ 2008 CONCERT SCHEDULE:

The Academy Brass Quintet thanks you for being part of our 2007 concert season. We appreciate your support. Hello friends! 2007 was an exciting year for us. We began with a Spring recital at Hope Lutheran Church in Toledo. ABQ was then featured at the pre-fireworks celebration at Fort Meigs in Perrysburg. We continued our annual tradition of performing from the outdoor amphitheatre at Maumee Bay State Park. The Perrysburg Area Arts Council set the stage for a concert on the lawn at Woodlands Park, where listeners brought their lunch and enjoyed a marvelous day. Epworth United Methodist Church in Toledo hosted our Fall recital. We wrapped up the season with our holiday concert at Zoar Lutheran Church in Perrysburg. We now invite you to be part of our 2008 concert season! Most of our concerts are free (or free-will offering) and all concerts listed below will be open to the public.
