WESTWIND BRASS PREMIERES THREE AMERICAN PORTRAITS

Bruce Broughton's brass quintet, Three American Portraits, was given its world premiere on May 1, 2006, by the San Diego-based brass quintet Westwind Brass (www.westwindbrass.org). The piece musically represents three very different American personalities: the personal-success author Napoleon Hill; President Calvin Coolidge; and General William Tecumseh Sherman.
